Those are things required for **development** we never said that was lightweight :wink:

The Geany and Geany-common runtime packages are <11Mb according to synaptic, thats lightweight.

You did remember to run `apt-get build-deps geany` again on this new VM?  Remember you need development packages to build against those libraries, even if the runtime is already installed.

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

Ummmm, you installed GTK2 then enabled GTK3 :grin:

And as I said above, you need the -dev packages to compile against, not just the runtime packages.

Yeah, the Ubuntu standard is GTK3 as suspected.
