Change a label in GTK+ 2

Hello, I am learning C and decided to have a look into programming GUI's with GTK+, so i have been going through the GKT+ 2 tutorial at gtk.org. I have created an appliction from the two button demo to tally up votes. I want the string at the bottom of the box to change to the percent of positive votes. I cannot get the label's text to change. Does anybody know how this is done? or if I am using the wrong widget? Thanks -Robert

Here is my code so far.
[code]
#include
float y = 0;
float n = 0;
float t = 0;
float p = 0;
GtkWidget *label2;
char coolness[20];
/* Our new improved callback. The data passed to this function
* is printed to stdout. */
static void callback( GtkWidget *widget,
gpointer data )
{
if(y==1) g_print ("1 person thinks C is cool,");
else g_print ("%.0f people think C is cool,", y);
if(n==1) g_print (" and 1 person thinks C is uncool.
");
else g_print (" and %.0f people think C is uncool.
", n);
g_print ("%s
",coolness);
}

/* another callback */
static gboolean delete_event( GtkWidget *widget,
GdkEvent *event,
gpointer data )
{
gtk_main_quit ();
return FALSE;
}
static void updown( GtkWidget *widget,
gint data)
{
if(data) y++;
else n++;
t = y + n;
p = 100 * y / t ;
sprintf(coolness,"%.2f",p);
}
/*void gtk_label_set_text( GtkLabel *label,
const char *str );*/
static void updatelabel2(void)
{
void gtk_label_set_text( GtkLabel *label2,

* this button is complete, and it can now be displayed. */

/* Do these same steps again to create a second button */

Thanks :)
PS - I am new to C as well.

    Here's the problem. You declared gtk_label_set_text instead of calling it. Change it to:
    [code]
    static void updatedlabel2(void)
    {
    gtk_label_set_text(label2,coolness);
    }
    [/code]

    There--problem fixed.
