I installed skype translting software CLOWN FISH in linux(ubuntu 14.04 LTS). But it was not working properly. In the clown fish website they have specified required library files for the proper working of the software. The following are the files. How do I install those files

libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0
libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0
libfontconfig.so.1
libXrender.so.1
libX11.so.6
libgobject-2.0.so.0
libXft.so.2
libfreetype.so.6
libpthread.so.0
librt.so.1
libz.so.1
libpng12.so.0
libstdc++.so.6
libm.so.6
libgcc_s.so.1
libc.so.6

Visit packages.ubuntu.com

In its Search the contents of packages section, search for the file.

It will list the packages that contain particular file.

In your case, these packages are provided by the following packages:

libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0     libgtk2.0-0
libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0     libgtk2.0-0
libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0  libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0
libfontconfig.so.1      libfontconfig1 
libXrender.so.1         libxrender1
libX11.so.6             libx11-6
libgobject-2.0.so.0     libglib2.0-0 
libXft.so.2             libxft2
libfreetype.so.6        libfreetype6
libpthread.so.0         libc6
librt.so.1              libc6
libz.so.1               zlib1g
libpng12.so.0           libpng12-0
libstdc++.so.6          libstdc++6-4.8-dbg-arm64-cross
libm.so.6               libc6
libgcc_s.so.1           libgcc1
