Normally the answer would have been to install the pike7.6-gtk package
but unfortunately Debian recently decided to remove all packages
depending on the old GTK1 library from testing and unstable. Equally
unfortunately Pike does not yet have support for GTK2, although work is
going on in that area.

For the time being I have resigned to building my own pike, which isn't
all that difficult but annoying compared to just installing a package.
The GTK1 library itself still remains in Debian though, so at least you
don't have to build that as well.
