Those are the libraries, but you also need the corresponding development packages to be able to build software that uses those libraries. Start off with libgtk2.0-dev and its dependencies, and then add others as needed to get configure to complete successfully and to enable the features you need. Watch the output of configure to ensure that any optional components that you want are able to find the development files they need. For example, for the MediaCtrl you will need some gstreamer packages, and for the wx.html2.WebView classes you will need libwebkitgtk-dev.

Thanks Robin.

You need to install the webkit dev package(s) I used the application
centre and then force configure to run again with:
