So I'm tyring to install this DDS plug in for gimp. I've done it before, but on this fresh install of Ubuntu I'm failing.

I extract the archive, then type make. This results in:

joel@Zetes:~/gimp-dds-3.0.1$ make
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 gimp-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gimp-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gimp-2.0' found
[CC]    dds.c
dds.c:27:21: fatal error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory
 #include <gtk/gtk.h>
                 ^
compilation terminated.
make: *** [dds.o] Error 1
joel@Zetes:~/gimp-dds-3.0.1$ 

So I'm missing package gtk+-2.0. This I can't find in either the software centre or with Synaptic.

The answers are in the error messages

  • gtk+-2.0

    Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gtk+-2.0' found

    therefore

    sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
    

    Why?

    % apt-file search gtk+-2.0.pc
    libgtk2.0-dev: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/gtk+-2.0.pc
    
    % apt-cache search libgtk2 | grep dev
    libgtk2.0-cil-dev - CLI binding for the GTK+ toolkit 2.12
    libgtk2.0-dev - development files for the GTK+ library
    
    % apt-file search --regex gtk/gtk.h$
    libgtk-3-dev: /usr/include/gtk-3.0/gtk/gtk.h
    libgtk2.0-dev: /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h
    
  • gimp-2.0

    Package gimp-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gimp-2.0.pc'

    therefore

    sudo apt-get install libgimp2.0-dev
    

    Why?

    % apt-file search gimp-2.0.pc        
    libgimp2.0-dev: /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gimp-2.0.pc
    
    % apt-cache search libgimp | grep dev
