Step4: follow the arrows from 1 to 5 in the diagram below


Step5: Gtk2 is now installed!!

Thanks to one of our Commentor, (AnonymousJuly 3, 2013 at 5:53 AM) suggested you do the following if your installation fails with this message "The package Gtk2 has already installed a file that package Pango wants to install."

Anyway, in order to successfully install it under (at least) ActiveState Perl 5.16.3 you need to :
Step 1 .. Step 3 : same as shown above
Step 4 : exit PPM GUI
Step 5 : on command line (cmd.exe) enter :

ppm install Gtk2 --force

Step 6 : enjoy !
