Sorry Peter, looks like its already installed

marvin:/home/testermike# locate libgtk2.0-0
/usr/lib/libgtk2.0-0
/usr/lib/libgtk2.0-0/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders
/usr/lib/libgtk2.0-0/gtk-query-immodules-2.0
/usr/lib/libgtk2.0-0/gtk-update-icon-cache
/usr/lib/libgtk2.0-0/update-gdkpixbuf-loaders
/usr/lib/libgtk2.0-0/update-gtk-immodules
/usr/share/doc/libgtk2.0-0
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libgtk2.0-0.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libgtk2.0-0.md5sums
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libgtk2.0-0.postinst
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libgtk2.0-0.postrm
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libgtk2.0-0.shlibs

also this shows up when trying to install 2.10

marvin:/home/testermike# aptitude install libgtk2.10

Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.

Bit stuck now :( Googling doesn't seem to help other than to confirm
that libgtk2.10 actually exists

Am I using the correct procedure to install the library?

TIA
Mike
