Gimp 2.6 can't find "gtk_*_version" during building

Hello. While trying to run gimp 2.6 configure, I am confronted with these messages (from config.log):

configure:16972: checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.12.5

I am passing the necessary paths to configure, especially LDFLAGS should take care of avoiding these “undefined reference” error messages, shouldn’t it?

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Glib-2.32.0/lib/ CPPFLAGS="-I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/xorg/X11-1.4.4/include/ -I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/xorg/Xorgproto-2018.1/include/ -I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gtk+-2.24.20/include/gtk-2.0/ -I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Glib-2.32.0/include/glib-2.0/ -I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Glib-2.32.0/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Cairo-1.10.0/include/cairo/ -I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Pango-1.30.0/include/pango-1.0/ -I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gtk+-2.24.20/lib/gtk-2.0/include/ -I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gdk-pixbuf-2.25.2/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/ -I/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Atk-2.15.4/include/atk-1.0/" LDFLAGS="-L/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/xorg/X11-1.4.4/lib/ -L/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gtk+-2.24.20/lib/" ./configure --prefix=/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gimp/Gimp-2.6.12 PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gimp/Babl-0.0.22/lib/pkgconfig/:/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gimp/Gegl-0.0.22/lib/pkgconfig/:/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Glib-2.32.0/lib/pkgconfig/:/media/34GB/Arquivos-de-Programas-Linux/Gtk+-2.24.20/lib/pkgconfig/

all these required stuff that configure is complaining about ( gtk_major_version) || (gtk_minor_version) || (gtk_micro_version)) is all present on the libgtk as the command bellow shows:

nm -S libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.20 | grep gtk_micro_version
0000000000344f5c 0000000000000004 R gtk_micro_version

nm -S libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.20 | grep gtk_minor_version
0000000000344f60 0000000000000004 R gtk_minor_version

Any ideas about what is going wrong?

Its be cool if you told us stuff like what distro you’re using… Also gimp 2.6 is quite old, why not a newer version?
