Hi all,
I am facing problems in installing the wireshark developmental versions (1.7.x-SVN XX) in CENTOS 5.7. The problem seems to be with GTK +2.12 which i am not able to install and hence the dependency is not getting resolved.
Any suggestions on how to proceed ???

Well, I'd say you've got several options:

1) Build Wireshark without the GUI (./configure --disable-wireshark)
2) Build your own (more modern) GTK (probably a lot of work)
3) Use an older version of Wireshark
4) Upgrade your OS (CentOS 6 comes with GTK 2.18.9)
