Installing gtk-config and/or fsv in Ubuntu 10.10
- by Wayne Werner
Hi,
I'm trying to install the File System Visualizer (think "It's a UNIX System! I know this!" from Jurassic Park) on Ubuntu 10.10.
I've got the .tar.gz downloaded, and extracted. However, when I ./configure, I get this output:

configure: error: Cannot find proper GTK+ version
Obviously it's looking for gtk-config. However, apparently it doesn't exist in the repos anymore. Then this post mentioned that gtkglarea solved their problem, as mentioned in this file.
Of course that poster neatly forgets to mention exactly what and how gtkglarea solved their problem, and Google is mostly devoid of information on the problem.
So I come here asking for help! I would like to install fsv, but it tells me gtk-config doesn't exist. How can I fix this problem in Ubuntu 10.10?
Thanks!
