On Ubuntu 12.04 64bit with gtk3 and gtk3-dev installed configure fails on gtk2 with error:
configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0) were not met:
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
Please advice.

configure for what fails?
Version of the what is also needed!

And where is the problem ?
Just install the gtk2 dev packages and it's dependencies and it will work.

No it wont - Not for me!
eg >>>>codeblocks: symbol lookup error: codeblocks: undefined symbol:_ZN13cbAuiNotebook7AddPageEP8wxWindowRK8wxStringbRK8wxBitmap
I successfully compiled, make'd and installed Codeblocks using the gtk2 but got the above run time error on [xubuntu 12.10 which uses gtk3]. Note I installed gtk2 side by side with the 'original' xubuntu system, something I was hesitant in doing. This followed many hours of unsuccessfully trying to compile Codeblocks with gtk3, playing around with configure.in/makefiles GTK2>3_CFLAGS etc. I almost got it compiled but got msg such as error: ‘GdkWindow’ has a previous declaration as ‘typedef struct _GdkDrawable GdkWindow’ Then I knew I was in trouble.
Obviously this is a gtk2-gtk3 compatibility issue so perhaps I should not even raise it here. Further somebody has already resolved it given the existence of the ubuntu 12.10 codeblocks deb package. However If somebody could give me a hint I would be grateful and may also be useful for users of the popular ubuntu os.
Why am I trying to compile when I already have it installed? Simply the package I used to install did not have the extended plugins for which I understand need to be compiled in. On the face of it this appears to be not a very flexible arrangement. Much better to have a compiled API in which a non compiled plugin can access -or am I missing something??
Using the deb package version I have noticed that the path selection dialog box for selecting include/tool locations is broken for me. A directory can be searched OK but the selection is not returned in the dialog properly, only part of a path "/home/x" in my case. I suspect its a system interface issue and not a codeblocks one but given my troubles above may be related. My work around was simply pasting in the paths either in the dialog or directly editing the cbp file.
Tim I see you are still around . Thanks for your help a year ago.

From http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/page_port.html (http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/page_port.html)
Support for GTK+ 3 is available starting with wxWidgets 2.9.4, use configure option –with-gtk=3 to enable it. It is still under development and may have significant bugs or missing features, and should be considered experimental.
Last I know CB was not stable with wxWidgets 2.9; but, that was about 6 months ago.

As far as I know gtk2 and gtk3 are meant to be installed together. One is not a replacement for the other.

Have you tried to install the codeblocks-contrib package?

This is a wxgtk bug. Report this to your distro maintainers, so they can patch it.

I just installed a plain xubuntu 12,10 on a virtual machine.
Buiding and installing C::B from sources was straight-forward as on almost all linux distros.
No nuild- or runtime-error.
And it's of course build against gtk2.
Neither wxWidgets 2.8 nor C::B can be build against gtk3 at the moment.
And even wxWidgets trunk does not fully support gtk3.

Thanks Guys

Understood now, but it did my head in.

My mistake sorry- must of missed installing the contrib deb of those ~21 debs I manually installed (since discovered dpkg -i *.deb rather than double clicking) and yes I didn't realise the significance, since every thing else other than plugins was working OK
Now onto my real aim to get embedded arm compiling going.... to another CB forum...
