I'm trying to use a make file for xnee, and everything was going smooth for its install until the end when the mentioned error occurred.

This question said to try either to install libgtk2.0-dev or libgtk-3-dev, but neither of them resolved the issue.

Is there a newer GTK version that I should be using? The version of xnee I'm trying to use is 3.19, released in 2014-- those GTK versions should be perfectly fine.

I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 with a MATE Desktop environment.

  • What do you mean exactly by *"use a make file for xnee"*? if you mean that you are trying to `./configure` and `make` xnee-3.19 from source, please include the output of `grep gtk config.log Makefile` – steeldriver Apr 21 '19 at 00:59
  • config.log:configure:5323: checking for gtk-config config.log:gtk_CFLAGS='' config.log:gtk_LIBS='' Makefile:gtk_CFLAGS = Makefile:gtk_LIBS = – EarthToAccess Apr 21 '19 at 01:38
  • Is the `pkg-config` package installed on your system? – steeldriver Apr 21 '19 at 01:40
  • Yes, and it's at the latest version. – EarthToAccess Apr 21 '19 at 02:19
  • So what does `pkg-config --modversion gtk+-{2,3}.0` report? – steeldriver Apr 21 '19 at 02:23

    What are you hoping to gain building instead of just installing xnee from Ubuntu repos? (./configure/make works fine here on 18.04.. – doug Apr 21 '19 at 06:48
  • What was wrong with [binary packages](https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&exact=1&searchon=names&keywords=xnee) from *universe* pocket? – N0rbert Apr 21 '19 at 13:41
  • @steeldriver Package gtk+2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gtk+2.0' found Package gtk+3.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+3.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gtk+3.0' found – EarthToAccess Apr 21 '19 at 17:11
  • @doug Oddly, it told me that the package didn't exist. – EarthToAccess Apr 21 '19 at 17:12
  • Post result of `apt-cache policy xnee` If nothing is shown then output of `sudo apt update` – doug Apr 22 '19 at 02:45
