On running: 

 ./configure --prefix=/opt/gtk

I receive the following error at message:

configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.33.1    atk >= 2.5.3    pango >= 
1.30.0    cairo >= 1.10.0    cairo-gobject >= 1.10.0    gdk-pixbuf-2.0 >= 2.26.0) were
not met:

Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.33.1' but version of GLib is 2.32.3
Requested 'atk >= 2.5.3' but version of Atk is 2.4.0

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

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BASE_DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS
and BASE_DEPENDENCIES_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.

I have already installed libgtk2.0-dev based on similar answers to questions similar to this one, but this hasn't helped.

 apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev

I'm on an Ubuntu 12.04. GTK-version: gtk+-3.6.4

Please help.

You're using GTK 3 and installed development packages for GTK 2. Guess what? It won't work. apt-get install libgtk3.0-dev (or similar, I don't use Ubuntu, hence don't know the exact package name) should fix your problem.

  • no, that's not true, gtk 3 requires installation of the older library as well – Aditya Sihag Jun 04 '13 at 08:41

    No, GTK 3 doesn't require the installation of GTK 2. Installing GTK 3 development packages on any good distro will pull the right dependencies, but shouldn't pull GTK 2. – liberforce Jun 04 '13 at 22:05
