OpenSuse 42.3 cannot find libgtk-3-dev

[swhite]

Hi

When I run the PB v 5.62 checkinstall.sh on OpenSuse 42.3 it always reports that gtk+-3.0 is not found and suggest adding the directory containing "gtk+-3.0.pc" to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable. If I run sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev it reports that libgtk-3-devel not found in package names and then it reports that no provider of libgtk3-devel found.

Does anyone know how to fix this? In the meantime I just used the "gtk2" as the library subsystem in the compiler settings.

Thanks,
Simon

I don't have OpenSUSE in use, but I think, this works:

1. Go to this site: https://software.opensuse.org/package/g ... ?locale=en
2. The window "Search settings" opens. Look for "Distribution" and choose "openSUSE Leap 42.3"
3. Set the checkbox "Show development packages"
4. Click "Direct Install"

Hi

Did the installation but I still get the same message. It appears that the file "gtk+-3.0.pc" cannot be found anywhere on the workstation.

Thanks,

If I run sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev it reports that libgtk-3-devel not found in package names and then it reports that no provider of libgtk3-devel found.

apt-get only works on Linux distributions that utilize the Debian package format (Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives and many more). But OpenSuSE is utilizing the Red Hat Package Manager format (RPM). On OpenSuSE you have to use the graphical Yast software manager or the command line tool Zypper.

If you need the 64 bit package of gtk3-devel you may click onto this link, scroll down to "openSUSE leap 42.3" and install the package by clicking onto "1 Click Install" or onto "Download" and selecting "64 bit" to download the RPM package and install it with Yast or Zypper.

Did the installation but I still get the same message.

Zebuddi123's link points to the standard version of GTK3. But you have to install the developer version of GTK3 otherwise the error message won't disappear!

Thank-you that worked.
