[racket-dev] up-to-date libgtk for drracket on debian stable?

Debian is a slow-moving distribution, and it looks to me like the version of libgtk in the stable version of Debian Lenny isn't new enough for DrRacket. Here's what I get on startup:

ffi-obj: couldn't get "gtk_combo_box_set_button_sensitivity" from "libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0" (/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: gtk_combo_box_set_button_sensitivity)

=== context ===

I know I've seen the racket build download its own libraries during compilation on my mac, but I didn't find a 'configure' option that allowed me to specify this manually.

Thanks for any suggestions,

John
