Unable to install gtk+3

#1 Post by Dictador »

I am trying to compile "gaw3" pspice waveform viewer but I am getting problems with gtk+3.
So, when I run ./configure I get the following error:

Code: Select all

checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for gtk+-3.0 >= 3.0.0... no
configure: error: Cannot find gtk+ 3.x or later, please install gtk+.
I try to install gtk3 libraries but I get dependency errors. Can anyone help?

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install  libgtk-3-dev

Code: Select all

You’ll need to specify to apt to use the backports repo i think.

Either that, or use aptitude's super (not-cow) powers to make the libraries match standard Bookworm's, if you don't really require those backports updated versions.

Or do the compiling in a vanilla Bookworm schroot.

Specifying backports repo does not change anything.

Code: Select all

Package libgtk-3-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  libgtk-3-common
And when I try to install libgtk-3-common I get:

Code: Select all

libgtk-3-common is already the newest version (3.24.38-2~deb12u1).
I do not know what you mean by "use aptitude's super (not-cow) powers to make the libraries match standard Bookworm's, "

The problem is that at some point you installed something from bookworm-backports that brought in some gtk3 related libraries. At this point the easiest way out is probably to use the Backports tab in MXPI to manually install
libatk-bridge2.0-dev
libatk-bridge2.0-0
libatk1.0-dev
libatk1.0-0
gir1.2-atk-1.0
libatspi2.0-dev

Once all the versions of those dependencies are properly matched up, you should be able to install libgtk-3-dev from the main debian repo (there is no backport version of that one).

The super cow stuff refers to some Easter Egg "humor" in apt and aptitude. You can easily find out what with a web search, but try

Code: Select all

apt moo
apt moo moo
apt moo moo moo
then,

Code: Select all

aptitude moo
aptitude -v moo
aptitude -vv moo
and keep adding more v's.

Code: Select all

$ apt moo moo
                 (__)  
         _______~(..)~ 
           ,----\(oo) 
          /|____|,'    
         * /"\ /\   
           ~ ~ ~ ~
