Hello,
I tried to install mbrowser in debian jessie. First, configure didn't find the snmp libs which was quickly fixed with the appropriate prefix. Then configure complained because it required gtk+-2.0 but jessie has gtk+-3.0. Thus, I modified the configure file by replacing gtk+-2.0 with gtk+-3.0 in the checks.
configure worked fine but make check revealed that there are functions in gtk+-2.0 not anymore available in gtk+-3.0.
Would habe been too easy to be true...
Do you plan to issue a mbrowser version for gtk+-3.0?

    migrating from gtk2 to gtk3 takes some effort. In the last months I pepared some enhancements to mbrowse (snmp v3 support,etc.) Maybe its worth to migrate mbrowse to gtk3.
    I will decide in the next days wether to do this or to leave this project.
    kind regards

    Debian jessie also has gtk+-2.0 - install the package "libgtk2.0-dev"
