I have wasted half a day googling for it and its
everybody scratching their heads going "how do I fix this"?
No rea answers.

What it is, MySQL did not have a .config smart enough to query
to see if the run time gtk-2.0 is installed.
Yes it is.
So I need gtk.+-2.0.pc. Or to fix their broken
..config.
Which as usual gtk.+-2.0.pc is tucked away in
some hellhole google cannot quickly find.
Needless to say, MySQl is totally silent on their
site about this problem, at least if you want it
right, fast and now. Probably buried in some footnote
deep and hard to find.

Apparently I need gtk 2.0 development or some bloody such
to get gtk+-2.0.pc.

I get so tired of this crap from developers that
seem to put a lot of effort in their product only
to blow it at the end with stupidities like this
in their installs.

Then mumbling some useless generic uncommunicative
error 'message'.
Why not spit it out? "Install whatever".

Sorry to vent but nowadays almost all packages seem
to be broken someway or the other.
