I'm trying to compile something that includes /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkpixbuf.h, which fails because both /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkpixbuf.h and everything in /usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf tries to include headers in /usr/include/gdk-pixbuf, which doesn't exist.

I worked around the problem by symlinking:
/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf to /usr/include/gdk-pixbuf
and
/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf-xlib to /usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-xlib

This is of course a bit of a dirty solution, maybe these headers in the packages themselves need some sed operations
This task depends upon

This is not a bug in gtk2 and gdk-pixbuf, but a bug in your code. You should use pkg-config to get additional cflags and ldflags for gdk-pixbuf and gdk. Besides that, gdk-pixbuf.h is not meant to get included, you should include <gdk/gdk.h> instead.

that "something" that you try to compile should be fix to get the header path from gdk-pixbuf-2.0.pc instead of gtk2 because now is split out from gtk2

pkg-config --cflags gdk-pixbuf-2.0
