[Visualpython-users] Building visual on SuSE 9.2 Pro

[overbyte <ove...@ea...>]

While trying to install VPython on SuSE 9.2 Pro (the latest release from
Novell/SuSE which just arrived this month), I get a fatal error message
from the configure script.  It's complaining that I don't have Gtk+ .
I've checked the package list in the SuSE package installer (YAST) and
it says the system has packages called gtk and gtk2, which both refer to
themselves as versions of Gtk+, however, there's nothing actually called
Gtk+ or gtk+ in the system. There isn't a libgtk or directory gtk
except /usr/lib/gtk which contains only themes.  I even did a complete
file search for a name gtk+ and didn't find one. Does anyone have any
suggestion on where I go from here?

I tried to build on my prior installed SuSE 9.1 Pro, but I was stumped
by an internal error in g++ at the end of a long compilation.  So I
waited for 9.2 to be released with the newer compiler, only to run into
this configure problem.
