It is always best to install the distributions version of these packages
if possible. I'm not familiar with where the installer CD puts them, but
it would have to be elsewhere than /usr/bin /usr/lib etc.. to avoid
conflicts with ubuntu's package managed versions.

gtk-config was from back in the gtk-1.x days. It "might" be that the
installer is trying to install an old app which wants it - in which
case, try:

sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2-dev

ok - next step for PCB, get hold of a copy of libgd which has jpeg
support. I have libgd2-xpm-dev installed:

sudo apt-get install libgd2-xpm-dev

with the cc1plus error, it looks like you might not have a C++ compiler
installed. Try:

sudo apt-get install g++

Let us know how it goes. Ubuntu takes a little bit of apt-get install
bootstrapping to become a usable development platform, however its
pretty good once you've got the required packages.
