Well you need GTK to run Gimp and ubuntu has GIMP. So isnt GTK installed?

you have your gtk runtimes(term?) installed. You probably need to install the gtk developmentals. I am not sure what the exact name of the package is off hand,

gtk-config is probably part of the devlomental package. you only need the developmental package if you are compiling a program that depends on gtk. If you are running gnome, you do have the gtk installed(not the developmentals)

this should install you gtk-1.2 developmentals

sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2-dev

this for gtk -2.0

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
