Ubuntu

"Package gtk+-2.0" not found in pkg-config search path

Asked by Gary Kline on 2013-03-24

guya,

i was =positive= that my "voice-by-computer" program that is for the speech impaired would build under ubuntu [12.04], but so far, nada. i get from somewhere---and i am guessing this is from the makefile environment--the following to stdout::

Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
cc -g -Wall -DGSEAL_ENABLE=1 -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED=1 -DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED=1 -DGDK_PIXBUF_DISABLE_DEPRECATED=1 -DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED=1 -c -o vbc.o vbc.c
vbc.c:8:21: fatal error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [vbc.o] Error 1

can anyone on launchpad.net tell me what';s i'm doing wrong? and how to fix! my VBC suite is so far five C files mixed with GTK+ [[which is a bear to learn]]. this compiles under another flavor of linux that crashes every few hours. ubuntu is reasonably stable and it would be nice if i could finiksh up here. so far, "locate" finds a lot of gtk files, but no gtk+ files. so i'm wedged. i'd be much obliged for any insights.
