(Assuming you're sitting in front of an english keyboard. Which I kind of doubt seeing that your email address looks like its from India.) Anyhow, hope that helps. Oh, and as a second thought, if the error your getting is this: test.cc:1:33: error: non_existant_header.h: No such file or directory Something is whack with your gtk installation. Unless of course you also get this error message: Package non_existant_package was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `non_existant_package.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'non_existant_package' found In which case, you probably just don't have gtk installed at all. Which means you should probably install the library before you try and use it in development. (Note: Having the binary libraries installed isn't enough. You need the development headers and the such. On ubuntu, something like: $ sudo apt-get install libgtk+-2.0-dev Should get everything you need installed. ) Cheers, Paul _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
