I am trying to use the ./configure option to install geany 0.21 on ubuntu. I am getting an error that the gtk dependencies aren't met. I think it may just be the naming of the dependencies that is stopping it . Any idas on how to get round it.
The error configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.12 glib-2.0
= 2.16 gio-2.0 >= 2.16) were not met:
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
However I searched and found that all were installed just in the name format of gir1.2-gtk-2.0 (see below) the same holds true for glib and gio.

Done Note, selecting 'gir1.2-gtk-2.0' for regex 'gir1.2-gtk-2' gir1.2-gtk-2.0 is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Any ideas how to make configure complete?
