Problems with compiling from source


I'm trying to compile a program from source first time. I changed the working directory and entered the "./configure" command, but when it was checking for some required things, I got an error message:

checking for gtk+-2.0 gdk-2.0... 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
configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 gdk-2.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

I can't understand much of this, so could anyone tell me, what exactly to do and how?

I'm running on Ubuntu 5.10 with Gnome.

It's already installed.

What about these PKG_CONFIG_PATH's, can anyone tell me what to do with them?

You need to install the development packages for gtk+-2.0. Usually called something like gtk-2-devel
