Installing GTK+ from Software Center (with C)

[gnometorule]

I've searched the forum and found many references to similar sounding Titles, but what I saw didn't seem to answer the basics I am looking for. I went to the GTK+ project page and saw that GTK+ needs the libraries (provided there as tar files - these the most recent versions as of today):

• GTK+ 3.0
• GLib 2.28
• Pango 1.28
• Gdk-Pixbuf 2.24
• ATK 2.0

However, given the importance of GTK, I assume that it is pre-installed with my OS - developer version I mean, not just runtime libs for apps. I was able to find what seems to be python binding libs, but intend to work with C as I prefer it, and as it's native to GTK+.

Questions:

(1) do I (probably) have the above libraries already installed (under a different/same name) ? I'm usually fine with whatever older version Ubuntu is kind enough to offer via this route - rather than deal with dependencies myself

(2) if not, or if I do but other libs need to be installed to develop: what else do I need to install, again, much preferably from the Software Center?

(3) less important: I read that once I get more serious GLADE is recommended for the obvious reason (I did find GLADE in the Software Center). Anything else I should consider installing?

Many thanks.

My system:

Toshiba netbook
Ubuntu 10.04
Kernel version 2.32ish
Gnome based system

For GTK you need libgtk2.0-dev, it should install all you need. Not sure about Glade, though...

[gnometorule]

Awesome! Glade pops separately on the Software Center, so is easy too. Many thanks as usual, BS.

If you haven't already, you should consider also:

libgtk2.0-doc
devhelp

That way, you don't have to hammer on Gnome's doc site all the time for a reference.

Downloaded those too, thank you very much.
