Re: GUI work

[Levente Torok]

Hi John,

On my ubuntu I experienced the following:
===============
address@hidden:~/octaveDE$ ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for DEPS... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 
gthread-2.0 gtkmm-2.4 gtksourceview-2.0 gdl-1.0 vte ) were not met:

No package 'gtkmm-2.4' found
No package 'gtksourceview-2.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables DEPS_CFLAGS
and DEPS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

However they seem to be installed:
