While installing gtk2-dev is not hard indeed, finding the name of package, which you need (gtk2-dev in your example) may be much harder. Just an example: Ubuntu has a package for curl (commandline utility): http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/curl curl (commandline utility) is a thin wrapper around libcurl, libcurl is registered as a dependency. No problems yet, just go through hypelink. http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libcurl3 Now, can you say me, what package should I install for obtain headers, .pc, debug symbols and other developer-related stuff for that libcurl? Not some libcurl, but that specific libcurl, which was fetched as dependency of the curl (commandline utility)? It just a fear. My fear. Fear that possibility to create packages/subpackages may lead to creating them randomly, and these randomly created packages/subpackages may lead to the same problems as demonstrated above. And, seems, I'm not alone in that. -- Andrew W. Nosenko <andrew.w.nosenko@gmail.com>
