    Hi guys,

    I am having problems compiling Etherape on Ubuntu.
    When I execute ./configure it says:
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    checking for libglade-2.0 libgnomeui-2.0... Package libglade-2.0 was not found i n the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `l ibglade-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'libglade -2.0' found.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    However all those libs are installed on my machine.
    What should I do in order to compile successfully?
    If all those libs need adding to pkg-config search path, how I can do it? If it is possible please describe step by step.
    Help me please.

    Thanks.
    Rava.

      The packages mentioned are the development ones. Usually their name ends in -devel.
      For example, libglade2 contains the library needed to RUN programs compiled with glade 2, while libglade2-devel contains the files needed to COMPILE packages.

      But the problem is that all those packages are installed. However, pkg-config doesn't show this.
      So, I guess that pkg-config doesn't have information about this. And I think, that I have to somehow inform pkg-config that these packages are installed and located in particular directory.
      But I don't know how to do it in Ubuntu?
      Is there any idea on this?

      Thanks.
      Rava.

        AFAIK, libglade2-dev should be the right package. It installs /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libglade-2.0.pc
        Note that ubuntu also offers a precompiled etherape package
