 **What exactly was the "that" that worked?** 

See the message above: "I am currently working on another approach that is showing promise"
I started with a fairly clean virtual machine image _(gcc, g++ and make were already installed)_  and loaded the software as listed. Then I got the latest files from git huh and went through autogen.sh, etc. By the way, by the time I am done that adds about 500 MBytes to my file system  --- lightweight ???

**I'm  also interested in why it even tried to build debugger when the configure said "no".** 
Because I ran make in its subdirectory to determine if it was a minor problem that I could address.
It was not.

**Can you run the Geany supplied by Ubuntu and post the line with GTK version from Menu->Help-Debug Messages** 
OK ... I started with another clean virtual machine  image and used synaptic package manager to install 
geany
geany-plugins
```

```
You are correct: GTK 3.22.30

**You could try --enable-gtk3 on configure to build the GTK3 version from source if the installed version is gtk3 (as indicated by the debug messages).**
I am not sure exactly what you mean. should the command be "./configure --enable-gtk3" ?
OK .. I started with another clean virtual machine  image and copied the file geany-1.3.3.tar.gz to ~/Downloads. The folder geany-1.33 was extracted to the same directory. I opened a terminal window in that directory. 

```
cd /home/lewis/Downloads/geany-1.33 
./configure --enable-gtk3

```
no joy
So I tried 

```
sudo apt-get install GTK3.0
./configure --enable-gtk3
```
Now the error message is:
```
configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-3.0 >= 3.0 glib-2.0 >= 2.32 gio-2.0 >= 2.32 gmodule-no-export-2.0) were not met:

No package 'gtk+-3.0' found
No package 'glib-2.0' found
No package 'gio-2.0' found
No package 'gmodule-no-export-2.0' found
```
One more time

```
sudo apt-get install glib2.0
sudo apt-get install gtk2.0
./configure --enable-gtk3
```

and the error is:
```
checking for gtk+-3.0 >= 3.0 glib-2.0 >= 2.32 gio-2.0 >= 2.32 gmodule-no-export-2.0... no
configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-3.0 >= 3.0 glib-2.0 >= 2.32 gio-2.0 >= 2.32 gmodule-no-export-2.0) were not met:

No package 'gtk+-3.0' found

```
I am going to blow that image away and surender.
