Here is a code below that I try to compile...

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

int main( int argc, char *argv[])
{
GtkWidget *window;

gtk_init(&argc, &argv);

window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
gtk_widget_show(window);

gtk_main();

return 0;
}

This code seems very easy but error message while I try to compile isn't simple.

The error message is below;
**********************************************************************
compiling line:
gcc -Wall -g den1.c -o den1 `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0 pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0`
**********************************************************************
end result is too below:

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xcb-shm.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'xcb-shm', required by 'cairo', not found

It mentions "you haven't library that its called "xcb-shm" or couldn't find location (but there isn't a packet in my system _ I'm using Pardus 2011). Are there anybody which facing similar problem like me?

Try looking for a package named 'simply 'xcb' or 'libxcb'. That should help. Not sure how Pardus works, but you might have to compile that, then recompile cairo so it has xcb support, and /then/ move back to gtk. But then you might not. Hope that helps.

Thank you Grady!

I tried the way that you offer.. It's working but another problem appears on my screen.. It's like a fishing muddy lake.. So you own all hardware in order to dive too, but it doesn't work.. Keeping try...
