Error compiling this example code of libcurl

Its an example code to download a file and show gtk window..

http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curlgtk.html

I get this error:-

shadyabhi@ArchLinux /tmp $ gcc curlgtk.c `pkg-config --libs --cflags libcurl`
curlgtk.c:13:21: fatal error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
shadyabhi@ArchLinux /tmp $

Then I tried :-

shadyabhi@ArchLinux /tmp $ gcc curlgtk.c `pkg-config --libs --cflags libcurl` -I /usr/include/gtk-2.0/
In file included from /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdk.h:32:0,
                 from /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h:32,
                 from curlgtk.c:13:
/usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkapplaunchcontext.h:30:21: fatal error: gio/gio.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
shadyabhi@ArchLinux /tmp $

Whats the issue?

Your error is unrelated to curl. You're not properly linking against gtk

gcc curlgtk.c $(pkg-config --libs --cflags gtk+-2.0 libcurl)
