I got past this problem in Linux Mint 22.1 XFCE (derived from Ubuntu 24.04) by installing libgtk-3-dev. Perhaps the list of required dependencies for Ubuntu variants should updated to include libgtk-3-dev.

(Unfortunately, the installation still failed because Ubuntu variants now use pipx instead of python3-pip, and pipx should never be run as 'sudo' according to the pipx documentation. Running 'pipx install WoeUSB-ng' resulted in a permissions error "error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/bin/woeusbgui'", but that's a different issue.)
