This isn t so difficult  Just check your gtk  toolkit utilities version from terminal  gtk-launch --version

User · Answer

I think a distribution-independent way is   gtk-config --version

To make the answer more general than Ubuntu  I have Redhat    gtk is usually installed under  usr  but possibly in other locations  This should be visible in environment variables  Check with   env   grep gtk   Then try to find where your gtk files are stored  For example  use locate and grep   locate gtk   grep  usr lib   In this way  I found  usr lib64 gtk-2 0  which contains the subdirectory 2 10 0  which contains many  so library files  My conclusion is that I have gtk  version 2 10  This is rather consistent with the rpm command on Redhat  rpm -qa   grep gtk2  so I think my conclusion is right

You could also just compile the following program and run it on your machine    include  lt gtk gtk h gt   include  lt glib gprintf h gt   int main int argc  char  argv             Initialize GTK        gtk init   amp argc   amp argv        g printf   d  d  d n   gtk major version  gtk minor version  gtk micro version       return 0       compile with   assuming above source file is named version c    gcc version c -o version  pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk -2 0    When you run this you will get some output  On my old embedded device I get the following    root n00E04B3730DF n2     version  2 10 4  root n00E04B3730DF n2

Because apt-cache policy will list all the matches available  even if not installed  I would suggest using this command for a more manageable shortlist of GTK-related packages installed on your system  apt list --installed libgtk

This suggestion will tell you which minor version of 2 0 is installed  Different major versions will have different package names because they can co-exist on the system  in order to support applications built with older versions    Even for development files  which normally would only let you have one version on the system  you can have a version of gtk 1 x and a version of gtk 2 0 on the same system  the include files are in directories called gtk-1 2 or gtk-2 0    So in short there isn t a simple answer to  what version of GTK is on the system   But     Try something like   dpkg -l libgtk    grep -e   i    grep -e  libgtk-  0-9     to list all the libgtk packages  including -dev ones  that are on your system  dpkg -l will list all the packages that dpkg knows about  including ones that aren t currently installed  so I ve used grep to list only ones that are installed  line starts with i    Alternatively  and probably better if it s the version of the headers etc that you re interested in  use pkg-config   pkg-config --modversion gtk    will tell you what version of GTK 1 x development files are installed  and  pkg-config --modversion gtk -2 0   will tell you what version of GTK 2 0  The old 1 x version also has its own gtk-config program that does the same thing  Similarly  for GTK  3   pkg-config --modversion gtk -3 0

Try    apt-cache policy libgtk2 0-0 libgtk-3-0    or    dpkg -l libgtk2 0-0 libgtk-3-0

This will get the version of the GTK  libraries for GTK  2 and GTK  3    dpkg -l   egrep  libgtk 2 0-0 -3-0     As major versions are parallel installable  you may have both on your system  which is my case  so the above command returns this on my Ubuntu Trusty system   ii  libgtk-3-0 amd64                                      3 10 8-0ubuntu1 6                                   amd64        GTK  graphical user interface library ii  libgtk2 0-0 amd64                                     2 24 23-0ubuntu1 4                                  amd64        GTK  graphical user interface library   This means I have GTK  2 24 23 and 3 10 8 installed   If what you want is the version of the development files  use pkg-config --modversion gtk -3 0 for example for GTK  3  To extend that to the different major versions of GTK   with some sed magic  this gives   pkg-config --list-all   sed -ne  s   gtk - 0-9   0      1 p    xargs pkg-config --modversion

Try    dpkg-query -W libgtk-3-bin

User · Answer

get GTK3 version    dpkg -s libgtk-3-0 grep   Version    or just version number  dpkg -s libgtk-3-0 grep   Version    cut -d    -f2-
