    Menu Editor

    I'm using gnome and trying to install alacarte (or SOME menu editor - i've gotten the "closest" with alacarte). I get this error when configuring:

    checking for ALACARTE... configure: error: Package requirements (libgnome-menu >= 2.15) were not met:

    Package libgnome-menu was not found in the pkg-config search path.
    Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libgnome-menu.pc'
    to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
    No package 'libgnome-menu' found

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

    Alternatively, you may set the environment variables ALACARTE_CFLAGS
    and ALACARTE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
    See the pkg-config man page for more details.

    I cannot find the libgnome-menu package anywhere and i do not have libgnome.pc anywhere on my computer. Nor can I find them on the internet.
    What Gives?

    Have you tried installing it with APT?

    libgnome-menu
    libgnome-menu2.15
    libgnome-menu-2.15
