Problem while compiling GTK+

[Yuanlong]

I manage to pass the ./configure after all the -dev package installed but then I am still getting error which using make or make install.

/usr/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:20:2: #error "`ft2build.h' hasn't been included yet!"
/usr/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h:21:2: #error "Please always use macros to include FreeType header files."

btw I have tried apt-get install libgtk2.0-0, it downloaded and install nicely. But my gaim compilation is still giving me the same error.

I know that there is already a gtk inside knoppix but the problem is whenever I try to compile Gaim-0.80(knoppix use version 0.77), it keep giving me this msg

checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed.
configure: error:
*** GTK+ 2.0 is required to build Gaim; please make sure you have the GTK+
*** development headers installed. The latest version of GTK+ is
*** always available at http://www.gtk.org/.

btw thanks for the 2 command. I got it solved already.

Compiling the gtk+ now and later will try it with gaim again.
Thanks all.

Gaim .80 is already packaged in Debian as well so you simply install it no need to compile.

[HappyTux:/home/stephen]# apt-cache search gaim
gaim - multi-protocol instant messaging client

[HappyTux:/home/stephen]# apt-cache policy gaim
gaim:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1:0.80-3
  Version Table:
     1:0.80-3 0

        600 http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages

sorry to be noob again but how do i install it? I've try apt-get install gaim0.80-3 but it won't work.

There is no gaim 0.80 debian package, there's only debian gaim 0.77. The problem is gaim 0.77 no longer can log into yahoo.
I had similar problem loooong time ago. After I upgrade my distro then the gtk error vanished.
Now I am able to compile gaim 0.80 and using it.

Gaim .80 is in debian unstable. As root, try

apt-get -s install -t unstable gaim

to see if it will install without a problem. Remove the -s to go ahead and install if the output shows no problems.

HTH,
