I am new to Ubuntu what I have to do?


The right command is:

sudo apt-get install gtk2.0

First you need gtk2 and the command for that is

sudo apt-get install gtk2.0

chances are that its already installed.

Then you need the development package libgtk2.0-dev and this can be installed by the command:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtk2.0-dev
