Hi,

I am trying to recompile the IDE (latest stable version) with gtk2 on
ubuntu edgy.
when linking I got :
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgdk-x11-2.0

but if I
# ls -l /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     26 2007-02-03 08:33
/usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 -> libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.1000.6
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 539484 2007-02-01 00:42
/usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.1000.6

so I am a little puzzled : why ld can't find a lib that obviously is
in the usual directory for libs?

Thanks for your help,

Alain

Because it is searching for a lib called:

/usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so

not .so.o and not .so.o.1000.6

This link is installed when you install the development package for
the reffered library, which is probably called libgdk-x11-devel or
something like this. Maybe gdk-pixbuf-devel, don´t know where this
link is on ubuntu packages.

Thanks for the input.
The lib to install is libgtk2-dev.
