package gtk+-2.0 not found by glade, even though installed

Asked by Dean Courtney

I have a problem configuring Glade. Even though the Synaptic Package Manager reports this library is installed, when I run autogen.sh I get the error message:

No package 'gtk+-2.0' found

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

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

I would prefer to have the package installed in a standard prefix.

Any help please? Thank you.

You should install libgtk1.2-dev and libgtk2.0-dev.

Thank you, sir, the necessary libraries seem to be in place now and
autogen.sh runs to completion and says "Now type 'make' to compile" but
make ends this way:

/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.0.3/../../../../lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so:
undefined reference to `g_object_compat_control'
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.0.3/../../../../lib/libpango-1.0.so:
undefined reference to `g_slice_free_chain_with_offset'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [project2] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/dean/Projects/project2/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dean/Projects/project2'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

I don't get it. can you enlighten me? Thanks again,

Dean Courtney

Are libgtk1.2, libgtk2.0 (and related such as libgtk2.0-common and libgtk2.0-bin) installed properly? You may want to install libpango1.0.0 and libglade2-0 packages too. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your help, sir. The problem was resolved by updating to
newer versions of Pango and Glib.
