I was fed up with all the windows stuck inside a single desktop so I
decided to try installing gretl snapshot in my newly installed Kubuntu
Dapper system. I am not very experienced in compiling software on my
own and here is what happened:
After running ./configure everything goes fine except one error message:
*** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found
*** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to gtk-config.
I tried to locate this file using the "locate gtk-config" command and
apparently it is not available in the system. I know I have several
gtk based applications installed in my system such as firefox and
gnumeric. Is there anyone who knows which package(s) need to get
installed so that I have gtk-config?
Ps: Alternatively, I know I can try installing using ./configure
--without-gnome but I didn't do this not knowing what functionality I
will be missing. Thanks for any directions.
Sincerely,
A. Talha YALTA
