Hello,
I'm a new linux user trying to configure/install a pre-written program.
I'm getting this error:
checking for gtk-config... no
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0... no
*** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found.
From this archived post:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-list/2002-August/msg00202.html
It says that gtk-config is no longer used with GTK+-2.0 (which is what I
have installed).
You'll need to install gtk-1.2.
Has someone written a gtk-config script that can be used with GTK+-2.0
for the sake of previously written programs, to be able to install
them? Or should I assume that the GTK API has changed between 1.2 and
2.0 such that a program expecting 1.2 would not work anyway, and just
give up even attempting to install it?
Correct. You can still install it if you have gtk-1.2 installed, which
has gtk-config.
