libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file

[Hardi]

Hi.

I downloaded the latest firefox version (3 days ago) and tried to run it with ./firefox, but then the console gave me this error:

hardi@hardi-pc:~/firefox-2.0/firefox$ ./firefox
./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Maybe I have to install gtk?
I checked the adept_installer and it semmed to me that some form of gtk had been installed.

I am using the Kubuntu 6.06 version.

What should I do?
Thanks.

hmmm May be try >

1 sudo apt-get install synaptic

2 launch Synaptic and install something like Gaim that should install any gtk dependencies

or
search Synaptic for libgtk

Thanks for trying to help, but:

root@hardi-pc:~# apt-get install synaptic
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package synaptic is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package synaptic has no installation candidate

You can also use adept to search for and install libgtk, gaim, and synaptic

also try command
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install build-essential

Hi,
I think you may need to install libgtk1.0.2-dev.
