libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 error opencv

Question

I'm trying to install opencv on my server. I ran:

conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/menpo opencv3

which worked successfully but then when I try to import cv2 I get the following error:

ImportError: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried apt-get install libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 but the package doesn't exist.

My guess is that because I'm running a VPS, the gtk libraries are not present. Any ideas on how to deal with this? Thanks!

I got the same error and it was resolve by installing libgtk package. Run this command;

apt-get install libgtk2.0-0
