Topic: [Solved] gtkpod install problems

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
See `config.log' for more details.

But:

:~/Desktop/gtkpod-1.0.0$ sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
libgtk2.0-dev is already the newest version.

I've tried building from source and run into a multitude of other problems with pango.

Can anyone please advise?

Re: [Solved] gtkpod install problems

Why are you compiling gtkpod? Is something wrong with the version in the repos?

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gtkpod

Re: [Solved] gtkpod install problems

Thank you!! Sorry, moment of idiocy.

My system won't recognise my iphone. I have  libgpod4 installed and i tried to install ifuse but some of dependencies won't install, like libimobiledevice0.

I am at a loss, again.

Re: [Solved] gtkpod install problems

Try using these instructions to connect your iPhone:

http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-connec … hardy.html

If you already followed that guide, then it would help if you posted what step you got stuck on and the specific errors you get.

Re: [Solved] gtkpod install problems

I've followed this guide but used aptitude to solve the dependency issues. But my system STILL won't recognise my device. I tried this, which I saw on an ubuntu thread:

sudo mkdir /media/iphone
sudo ifuse /media/iphone

This didn't work.

Re: [Solved] gtkpod install problems

Re: [Solved] gtkpod install problems

OK, understood. Sorry

Here's the fix: I followed first post and the tutorial, as posted by anonymous. Then:

sudo aptitude install ifuse

instead of:

sudo apt-get install ifuse

That'll fix any dependency issues.
My initial problem is solved, but alas a new one has occured. Getting gtkpod to work with iFuse, for this I believe that this is the answer: http://cgsbay.com/mount-iphone-ipod-tou … omment-190
Although this has caused me some troubles that I have not yet solved.
