Hi Ken, If you’ve installed pike from a package, there will usually be a set of additional packages for modules that have extra dependencies, like gtk and various databases. You can use your package manager to explore and install those “add on” packages.
If you’ve installed pike by compiling from source, then chances are you didn’t have a necessary dependency installed when you did the build. The easiest way to get just the module you want compiled and installed is to do this: $ cd src/post_modules/GTK2 $ pike -x module $ sudo pike -x module install I’m remembering the path from memory so you might need to adjust that. Also, you should inspect the output of the configure step during the module build to make sure it found the needed components. Hope this helps! Don’t hesitate to reply back if you have any additional questions or problems.
