or

For Fedora distributions:

sudo yum install gtk2-devel

On your LTIB directory:

rm -rf rpm/BUILD/gtk+-2.14.3/

error: Bad exit status from /home/daiane/LTIB/L2.6.24_1.2.1_SDK_042008/tmp/rpm-tmp.66904 (%build)

Answer:

This error is caused by lack of the new version of package gettext.

Install the gettext. For Ubuntu, the command line is:

sudo apt-get install gettext

But LTIB just recognize the existence of this package if it was installed before the LTIB installation. So, reinstall the LTIB.
