[SOLVED] ./configure :: libgnomeui-2.0 not found :: gwget

I am trying to install gwget. When I do "./configure", I get the below error.

Code:

checking for GNOME... configure: error: Package requirements (libgnomeui-2.0 >= 2.0.0
		 	  gtk+-2.0 	>= 2.6.0
			  gmodule-2.0
			  gio-unix-2.0 >= 2.16.0) were not met:

No package 'libgnomeui-2.0' found
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
No package 'gmodule-2.0' found
No package 'gio-unix-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 GNOME_CFLAGS
and GNOME_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

When I try and do "yum install libgnomeui", I get the below

Code:

Package libgnomeui-2.24.1-4.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

What should I do to successfully run ./configure?

You should install some -devel packages to satisfy the requirements, specifically libgnomeui-devel, gtk2-devel, glib2-devel. They contain headers and libraries necessary to build a program from source.

Also configure uses the pkg-config command to check where these objects are installed and the error you get means that the files /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libgnomeui-2.0.pc, /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gtk+-2.0.pc, /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gmodule-2.0.pc and /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gio-unix-2.0.pc have not been found (please see man pkg-config for details). They are provided by the aforementioned -devel packages as well.

Thanks colucix for your help. Doing "yum install libgnomeui-devel" solved the problem.
