Need to update GTK+ on Ubuntu (10.04)

Question

Trying to build Wireshark from source as there is no Linux installer and I am getting this error when I run the configure script:

checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.4.0... no
*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed.
configure: error: GTK+ 2.4 or later isn't available, so Wireshark can't be compiled

Tried running the following commands with no luck:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Can anyone help me as to how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

This worked for me: apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev

why can't you just do sudo apt-get install wireshark?

Lol, I literally just did that. Worked a treat. Thanks!
