Thank you Larry for your help!
I downloaded the package needed to get gobject-2.0, but now after
typing 'pkg-config gtk+-2.0', I get a message saying that
'gnome-config' was not found. What do I have to do now?


Thanks in advance


I have no idea what this error should tell us.  I have no gnome-config
but I have nearly a complete gnome-desktop installed.  I see this
message sometimes when running configure for another gnome package, but
it is just a harmless warning, gnome1 isn't needed to run gnome2 and
gnome2 applications.

As said in my other posting, "gnome-config" is used as fallback in pkgconfig (for historical reasons) when package is not found. Usually it happens when you don't have some optional library/package that is checked from pkgconfig.


I'm not sure is this removed from later pkgconfigs, or is it ever planned to be removed but it's usually safe to ignore it.
