Not for GTK+2..  You just need glib2, as far as I know.  Oh, and maybe
pkg-config, but that's trivial to install.  Hmm, I've got a dia
dependancies chart here, lemme look.

Rats, there are a few more.  Freetype 2 (cool font stuff, worth having),
glib2, pango, which does the rest of the cool font stuff, atk, which you
can probably skip, but I haven't tried, then gtk+2.  Not too bad, all of
those compile cleanly on Solaris.  BTW, I'll have Solaris 8 binaries
available on Monday or Tuesday, according to one of the Sun blokes.
