You need to install the development headers for quite some number of packages, I'd expect. In the immediate case, you want: apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev it sounds as if you already have some built tools installed, but: apt-get install build-essential is a helpful start. You will probably also need: apt-get install flex apt-get install bison When configure can't find a library, fire up Ubuntu's package manager (I remember Debian, so use "aptitude", and find the lib....-dev package which will have the headers for the library it can't find. Hope this helps. PS.. if you have latex installed, you can try adding --enable-maintainer-mode to the configure arguments, and it will build the docs. If not, try with --disable-docs. This assumes you're building from CVS. If building from a snapshot, you ought not to need either - but I've never confirmed that myself.
