What I'm actually looking for is a krell to show my entropy.

I looked into programming gkrellm plugins but when I tried to compile some examples, I get errors with everything. I tracked it down to the compilation command:

gcc -fPIC `pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --cflags` -c plugin.c
gcc -shared -Wl -o plugin.so plugin.o

I have a problem with the pkg-config utility, it doesn't have gtk+-2.0 as an option! I have all the gtk2 packages and have no problem installing gkrellm plugins from .deb files

I looked for gtk+-2.0 but it required atk, glib, pango or something which weren't compling correctly.

I guess what i'm asking is if anyone has an entropy meter in gkrellm or if there is another way to compile my plugin files.

thanks
