gtk/gtk.h

[ediks]

HI

I cant get <gtk/gtk.h> to compile. It is located in /usr/local/include/gtk-2.0/. My compiler cant find the header, giving:
"gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory"
so if I do gcc -I/usr/local/include/gtk-2.0 It gives me a list of errors with atk/*, pango/* headers out of place. If I include those it gives me a whole new list of headers not found. This is the same for all gtk, atk, and pango versions. Even the ones that came with the distribution.

I heard something about gtk-devel libraries, but can't find them. Any help would really be appreciated.

create a symlink from the gtk-2.0 dir to one called gtk

I tried sym links that didn't work. I asked on gtk forum and they said to use `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0`

gcc -o gtk gtk.c `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0`, and that works.

thanks anyway though

Compile the whole program as the actual root user.

Log out of your current user, then login as root. Do not use su to go into root. Then clean out the dir that you were compiling in with make clean. It might be eaiser to delete the dir all together then un*tar*zip it again.

This should fix your problem I think.
