<p><strong>What exactly was the "that" that worked?</strong></p>
<p>See the message above: "I am currently working on another approach that is showing promise"<br>
I started with a fairly clean virtual machine image <em>(gcc, g++ and make were already installed)</em> 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 ???</p>
<p><strong>I'm also interested in why it even tried to build debugger when the configure said "no".</strong><br>
Because I ran make in its subdirectory to determine if it was a minor problem that I could address.<br>
It was not.</p>
<p><strong>Can you run the Geany supplied by Ubuntu and post the line with GTK version from Menu->Help-Debug Messages</strong><br>
OK ... I started with another clean virtual machine image and used synaptic package manager to install<br>
geany<br>
geany-plugins</p>

<p>You are correct: GTK 3.22.30</p>
<p><strong>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).</strong><br>
I am not sure exactly what you mean. should the command be "./configure --enable-gtk3" ?<br>
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.</p>
<pre><code>cd /home/lewis/Downloads/geany-1.33
./configure --enable-gtk3
</code></pre>
<p>no joy<br>
So I tried</p>
<pre><code>sudo apt-get install GTK3.0
./configure --enable-gtk3
</code></pre>
<p>Now the error message is:</p>
<pre><code>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 'glib-2.0' found
No package 'gio-2.0' found
No package 'gmodule-no-export-2.0' found
</code></pre>
<p>One more time</p>
<pre><code>sudo apt-get install glib2.0
sudo apt-get install gtk2.0
./configure --enable-gtk3
</code></pre>
<p>and the error is:</p>
<pre><code>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:

<p>I am going to blow that image away and surender.</p>
