Installing .tar.gz file

It says that it couldn't find gtk, not gtk+, which is weird.

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev

is probably what you need then.

Things have changed, but obviously not for the better. I installed libglade 2.0 with synaptic package monitor, but it still asks for it.

And I'm not sure what to type for the command more.

Thanks for sticking by me, I'm about to put a fist through my screen!

You also need libgpod >= 0.4.0 but you only have 0.3.2 installed.

The more command will display the text file on your screen. So, more config.log will output config.log to your terminal window.

Does running

$sudo apt-get upgrade

give you the more current version of libgpod? or libglade? After that, try

$which libgpod
$which libglade

Since you are compiling, whenever the compiler complains about something, it wants the development libraries for it.

So "libglade2-dev" is what your want, as "libglade2-0" is of no use to the compiler (it doesn't contain header files).

So

sudo apt-get libglade2-dev

will take you one step further.
