Trouble compiling gtk+2.0 app.

[Danny]

Hi,
I'm trying to compile the GTK example program (ie. Hello world).
The library file and header files are there(/usr/lib;/usr/include), looks like gcc can't find them.
I'm not to sure about pkg-config? I'm thinking some environmental variable of some kind.


HERE'S WHAT I GET OUT:
gcc: pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0: No such file or directory
base.c:1:21: error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory

AND A BUNCH OF STUFF RELATED TO THE MISSING HEADER FILE

I've written some programs for Windows using C++(w/MFC) and some VBS stuff. I'm anxious to
try out programming in Linux!

Have you installed build essentials?

Hi,
I found out that it makes a difference what type of quote you use ' or ` in the gcc command line.
Works great when you have the right one. Any advice on an IDE to use ?

thanks,

Danny
