Very strange. I get 2,660,000 results, and the second is the one to
which I was referring: package libgtk2.0-dev. (Did you perhaps include
the quote marks? I didn't.)

Theme. (Perhaps motif was a bad choice of word given the context.)

libtiff-dev or libtiff4-dev
libopenjpeg-dev or libjpeg62-dev or libjpeg8-dev

I've provided alternatives as suggested by Google because I've not
investigated which one is really the correct one; or perhaps there are
several required. I don't know.
