cv2.imshow() command doesn't work.

[fove_ootaki]

Hello,  I have just started using Tinker Edge-R board.

condition
OS:   Tinker Edge R Debian Stretch V1.0.4
OpenCV version: 3.4.11
Pyrhon3.5.3

When I run a simple python code, I always get a below error message.

Python 3.5.3 (default, Jul  9 2020, 13:00:10)

[GCC 6.3.0 20170516] on linux

Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

>>> import cv2

>>> cv2.__version__

'3.4.11'

>>>

=============== RESTART: /home/linaro/Python_Scripts/circle.py ===============

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/home/linaro/Python_Scripts/circle.py", line 17, in <module>

    cv2.imshow('img1',img)
cv2.error: OpenCV(3.4.11) /home/linaro/Downloads/opencv-3.4.11/modules/highgui/src/window.cpp:658: error: (-2:Unspecified error) The function is not implemented. Rebuild the library with Windows, GTK+ 2.x or Carbon support. If you are on Ubuntu or Debian, install libgtk2.0-dev and pkg-config, then re-run cmake or configure script in function 'cvShowImage'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems Python code of opencv works except cv2.imshow() command  even if above condition.
IF I comment out cv2.imshow('img1',img) -> #cv2.imshow('img1',img), no error has been caused.
waitKey(0) and destroyAllWindow() cause an error, too. 

Would you support to solve this issue ?

Then I tried to install the libgtk2.0-dev and pkg-config.

But I have an error about libgtk2.0-dev installation like a following.(pkg-config should be OK.)

Thank you for your strong support in advance.

I could solved this issue by following procedure.

sudo apt-get install x11proto-xinerama-dev
#result OK
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
#result OK

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ..
make -j4
sudo make install

Sorry for bothering you.
