I posted this in the C++ forum, apparently this is a better place... I need to install GTK+ on Linux, but since im obviously still a complete ignorant fool when it comes to linux (have never used it before) I need help. I dont understand how to install all of the tools that it requires. Can anyone help me to set these things up? I tried to follow the instructions for installation but it didn't help. I keep getting an error with $ make install saying that i dont have permission to access /usr/local for some reason. I just have no clue on this...

Jump to Postyou need to run it as root use the sudo -i then login as root
then run the ./configure command and then the make install command
but you need to be logged in as root or belong to a group that has access to that directory
Jump to PostDon't get discouraged, it all starts to make sense with a little time. :)
Jump to PostIs there any reason you can't use the package manager (Synaptic in this case) to install it? It will resolve all of the dependencies for you.
Jump to Postit takes some time of yelling and hiting the keyboard before it becomes like second nature try to stick with it you'll get it
i could be wrong but i think this would work in your distro
run the following as a command
sudo apt get install gnome-core-devel …
Jump to Postthat would be the same
