Installing libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 in Ubuntu 15.04

Question

I'm trying to install opencv on my Ubuntu 15.04 server. I'm using the conda package manager.

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

When I try importing cv2, the Python package, I get the following error.

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

How do I install this dependency? I tried apt-get installing libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 but it doesn't seem to exist.

Thanks!

At least in Ubuntu 16.04, libgtk2.0-0 contains libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0, so this works:

apt-get install libgtk2.0-0

BEWARE. I only copied apt-get install libgtk2.0- and that removed almost all of my system. – Ondra Žižka Aug 04 '18 at 19:14
