Re: Errors in configure - GTK+

Hi Jorge,

First, are you  sure you need to install GTK? Ubuntu Dapper comes with
gtk 2.10, which should be OK for almost everyone. Why are you trying
to build GTK yourself?

You can't (easily) replace the gtk 2.10 which comes with your system.
You have to install the two versions together and then change some
settings so that your compiles see the new version not the standard
one.

You should install glib to /usr/local, then in your .bashrc change
PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH to search /usr/local before
/usr. Now when you try to install gtk, it should see your new version
of glib.
