Problems Installing programs

[sAg3]

Ok So I've tried to install some various 3rd party software such as Second Life, AIM, Adobe Acrobat, etc. In each case when I trie to run the executable I get an error similar to this:

error while loading shared libraries: libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried

sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall xlibs-dev

but the problem presists. I've looked around for other packages to install and I've seen suggestions for various x-window packages I couldn't find on aptitutde. CAn anyone tell me what I need to do to resolve this problem?

Checking libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0 in the Ubuntu packages
(http://packages.ubuntu.com/)

It tells that:

Package Contents Search Results

You have searched for libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0 in edgy, architecture i386.
Found 1 matching files/directories, displaying files/directories 1 to 1.

FILE
usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0

PACKAGE
libs/libgtk2.0-0

So if you are using edgy(or dapper) (i386) you need package libgtk2.0-0.

The GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, the GTK+ is suitable for projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application suites.

This package contains the shared libraries.

Install or reinstall it.

Have you enabled the extra repositories in Adept? If not try this page - just where it says Synaptic think Adept.
