first off, using GtkText is discouraged (see here http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkText.html#GtkText.description ).
now to the problem: as the link above says, you need to #define GTK_ENABLE_BROKEN before #including the gtk headers for GtkText to work

Code: (C)
1 2 3	#define GTK_ENABLE_BROKEN #include <gtk/gtk.h> /* continue with the program */

however, using GtkTextView isn't much harder than using GtkText, so I'd recommend looking into that instead,
there's a GtkTextView tutorial here:
