Re: [java-gnome-hackers] pkg-config weirdness for an Ubuntu developer

[Srichand P. <sri...@gm...>]

Coincidentally, I ran into this issue a while back. I think the issue  
here is that ubuntu's newest distribution uses gtk 2.19 while the  
configure script looks for something newer. I hacked the configure  
script to ignore the gtk version temporarily. I am sure there is a  
better fix, but this seemed to work for me.

If you are sure that you have updated your installation, then it may  
just work!
