Thread: Problems installing gtk

Code:

*** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.12.12, but GLIB (2.12.11)
*** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best
*** to remove the old version of GLib. You may also be able to fix the error
*** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or by editing
*** /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is
*** required on your system.
*** If pkg-config was wrong, set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH
*** to point to the correct configuration files
no
configure: error:
*** GLIB 2.0.0 or better is required. The latest version of
*** GLIB is always available from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/. If GLIB is installed
*** but not in the same location as pkg-config add the location of the file
*** glib-2.0.pc to the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

i dont understand the pkg thing , how do you do that?

i installed 2.12.12

Then the GTK config isn't finding it for some reason. Did you install it in some non-standard location? There should be a switch for the configure script to force it to look in a specific directory for the GLIB installation. Try using that.

now i am getting erros with gettext , i installed it manualy , i installed with sudo , but it stays returning this error:
