It would help if you told us what sort of system you're using, but in general, it's often one of the following: 1) Many Linux systems install the runtime by default, but not the programming support. For instance, for a RedHat/Fedora system, you'd need the '-devel' RPMs. For gtk1, there are 'glib' and 'gtk+' - you'd need glib-devel and gtk+-devel as well. For gtk2, you'd need atk-devel, glib2-devel, gtk2-devel, and pango-devel. 2) Failing to use 'gtk-config --cflags' for gtk1, or 'pkgconfig gtk --cflags' for gtk2: cc `gtk-config --cflags` -o hello hello-gtk1.c (the backquotes are important) cc `pkgconfig gtk --cflags` -o hello hello-gtk2.c If neither of those explain your problem, feel free to write back, including the following info: a) What system you're using b) cut-and-paste the actual 'cc' command and the exact error messages. Hope that helps..
