Installing GTK on Ununti

Your making it pretty hard to help with the documentation. Heres some wiki text on how to install on ubuntu. There are errors in your linux install tutorial. Regards ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is based on a fresh install of ubuntu 6.10 that came with the magazine [http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/ linuxuser and developer] issue 68. The aim is to get the install to a point where you can run the [http://gtk.php.net/docs.php PHP-GTK tutorials]. =Introduction= Installing PHP-GTK is a four step process. #Bringing the C/C++ development environment up to a standard that will compile PHP. #Installing the needed libraries. #Downloading and compiling PHP as required for PHP-GTK #Compiling PHP-GTK =Installing standard C++ development environment= ==Download and install the packages== Use Synaptic to download and install the following packages to bring the development environment up to scratch. cvs autoconf g++ bison re2c ==Compiling flex== The packaged version of flex is 2.5.33 you need 2.5.4a ( an older version). This you have to compile from source. The source is available from [http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/flex/flex-2.5.4a.tar.gz?download flex version 2.5.4a in tar.gz format]. Download, unzip and place in home folder using your preferred method. $ cd flex-2.5.4 $ ./configure $ make $ sudo -i # cd .. # cd /home/your_user_name/flex-2.5.4 # make install # cd ~ # exit $ cd .. =Getting the needed libraries= As a general rule you need the libraries that end in -dev.
