Installing TurboPrint 2.57-1 installation on LinuxMint 22 fails while running setup.h:

./setup.sh
./setup.sh: line 48 bin/turboprint: cannot execute: required file not found
Could not start X-Windows installation tool.
make sure that X-Windows is running and accessible

Linux is recently installed but seems stable. I am following instructions in text file INSTALLATION.

Hello, I think that a library is missing that is required by TurboPrint, e.g. gtk2.

Installation can be done from Terminal with the command line

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install gtk2.0

Thank you for support. After a disk failure I lost anything related to TurboPrint. So I purchased TurboPrint for Linux again today and installed it. I can now print but my prints include a conspicuous message that I am using your "FreeEdition" and must purchase a license a license key. So, my paid edition may be unable to find my license key. Please advise.
