file error

gcc : this is first on the line, so it's the main program you're running.

-Wall -g : options. Emit all warnings, compile with debugging info.

decompose-bits.c : the name of the file you're trying to compile.

-o decompose-bits : output compiled executable filename is "decompose-bits".

`pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` : The command inside the ``s is run and whatever's inside the ``s is replaced with the output of the command. This pkg-config command outputs a bunch of -D , -I , and -l options to gcc that tell it how to compile GTK+ programs.

radio-13.png : another file you're trying to compile

Take a look at the lines above. One of those lines should not be there. See if you can figure out which line that is. I think that after you have this decompose-bits executable compiled, you want to run "decompose-bits someimage.png", but ICBW. HTH,
