Ubuntu 10 dependencies not met

I'm getting this error when trying to do an install and build (Ubuntu 10.10):

 checking for DEPENDENCIES... configure: error: Package requirements ( gtk+-2.0 >= 2.10.0 pygtk-2.0 x11 ) were not met: No package 'pygtk-2.0' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS and DEPENDENCIES_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I've tried pointing PKG_CONFIG_PATH both to pkg-config and to the directory that holds all of the .pc files (/usr/share/pkg-config). The man page for pkg-config doesn't mention DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS or DEPENDENCIES_LIBS. I'm at a bit of a loss. I've tried using aptitude to install everything I could find which involved the letters "gtk" to no avail.

Any suggestions? I would really prefer to use aptitude, apt-get or dpkg to solve this if at all possible. I haven't tried rebuilding those packages from source.

I suspect you want

apt-get build-dep guake

This installs all the packages you need to compile guake. Then you can do

apt-get source guake
cd guake-*/
# edit, patch, ...
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -b -nc

What is the output of this command?

dpkg --get-selections | grep pygtk

How about the same for x11?

It looks sort of as if you're trying to install a package that wants x11 when you have xorg installed, but I haven't tested that.
