Gedit Developer Plugins

./configure doesn't work in karmic

Asked by malev

Hi Curtis!
I'm having a strange problem while using ./configure in karmic.
It doesn't find gedit. It says, I don't have it installed.
I'm posting here the output:

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GEDIT_CFLAGS
and GEDIT_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

You do not have developer packages installed to build the plugin. This plugin requires the python-gtk-dev and gedit-dev packages installed.

Since you are using karmic, you probably want to use the PPA that is listed on the front page: https://launchpad.net/~sinzui/+archive/ppa. YOu can get the plugin and regular updates without setting getting the development tools.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask malev for more information if necessary.
