I did sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev" and to be on the safe side "sudo
apt-get install gnome-core-devel"
Well, if you've got sudo and apt then what you really wanted was
sudo apt-get build-dep vim-gtk
Takes the guesswork out of it.
You didn't say what OS you had, and I had the impression that you
couldn't su, or I would have given the pearl earlier.
Anyone know the yum (or whatever) equivalent for Red Hat derived
distros? And what to do if sudo is not possible?
Regards, John
I'm using openSUSE which, though being RedHat-derived, has its own
package-management software, with a choice of two programs:
- yast (either Qt- GTK2- or curses-based UI depending on what it can
detect; the backend is identical)
with menus, you would select "Software installation" and continue from
there, maybe search for dependencies of the Vim package, and install any
"-devel" packages mentioned;
- zypper (command-line interface for "dumb" terminals)
with a fairly complete but long manpage.
IMHO YaST is easier to use, especially if you're not sure what you're
after, but zypper is faster if you know exactly which command to use.
On SuSE you would log in as root for the purpose of running them; this,
of course, requires that you know the root password.
Best regards,
Tony.
