configure script not detecting my Gtk+ libraries

I'm trying to build and install snd (downloaded from planetCCRMA)from source.
It requires Gtk+ so I installed the appropriate libraries (I think ?) using apt-get.

Then I ran ldcofnig.

When I run the configure script I get the following error message:

Code:

checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.12.0... no

configure: WARNING: trouble with gtk (we need version 2.12.0 or later) -- will try to make Snd without any GUI

But I am pretty sure that I have the appropriate libraries installed:

Code:

adam@debian:/usr/local/src/snd-12$ dpkg -l libgtk[0-9]* | grep ^i

ii  libgtk1.2                                1.2.10-18.1                        The GIMP Toolkit set of widgets for X

ii  libgtk1.2-common                          1.2.10-18.1                        Common files for the GTK+ library

ii  libgtk2-perl                              1:1.190-1                          Perl interface to the 2.x series of the Gimp

ii  libgtk2.0-0                              2.12.12-1~lenny2                  The GTK+ graphical user interface library

ii  libgtk2.0-bin                            2.12.12-1~lenny2                  The programs for the GTK+ graphical user int

ii  libgtk2.0-common                          2.12.12-1~lenny2                  Common files for the GTK+ graphical user int

I tried to look inside the configure script itself, to see if I could figure out where it was looking for Gtk. Unfortunately, I know very little about shell scripts, so I was utterly lost. I'll appreciate any suggestions.

Hello,

You may need to install gtk2-devel onto your system. I use fedora, so I don't know what it is called exactly for your package manager. Try using wildcards and such:

Code:

apt-get install libgtk2* gtk2-devel

It should be somewhere along those lines, but I am pretty sure it is the devel files that you need. If no go, let me know.

Cheers,

Josh

Thanks for the reply, looks like that was what I needed to do:

Code:

apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev

did the trick. However; when I installed this library it also install 29 MB of other, seemingly unrelated libraries and I don't know why. se la vie . . .
regards,

Adam

Note I am watching snd compile, and I can see as it goes, that it is linking against all of the other stuff that I thought was unrelated.

So the configure worked, but the build fails about halfway-ish through.

Code:

snd-draw.o: In function `g_make_cairo':

/usr/local/src/snd-12/snd-draw.c:1198: undefined reference to `gtk_widget_get_window'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make: *** [snd] Error 1

Could this be a problem with my instalation of Gtk? or is it more likely a bug in the code that I downloaded.
I'm gonna start by trying to build an earlier version. . . .

. . . . . Didn't work; fails with the same error, trying to find another Gtk application to test. . . . .
