as rogan suggested, this frequently means you are missing -dev
versions of packages.
i never use synaptic so i cannot help you there, but here's what i'd
do from the command line:
# (1) you probably have glib2 installed already. so, search the
installed packages for anything with the string 'glib' in their name:
dpkg -l | grep glib
you'll find a lot, but you're looking for the one that is glib, not
something for or involving glib, if that makes any sense. on my
system, it's:
ii libglib2.0-0 2.28.6-0ubuntu1
The GLib library of C routines
and what you want is to find the dev version:
# (2) search all available packages for ones whose names contain
glib2, and then try to filter down to just -dev packages
apt-cache search glib2 | grep -- -dev
i get 3 hits, but the obvious winner is:
libglib2.0-dev - Development files for the GLib library
# (3) install the development package:
sudo aptitude install libglib2.0-dev
you may not have some of those packages installed - say you are
missing libsoup (you try step (1) with soup instead of glib2 and come
up empty). then skip straight to (2):
apt-cache search soup | grep -- -dev
...
libsoup2.4-dev - an HTTP library implementation in C -- Development files
...
and then executing 3 will automatically pull in the base package for
you - if it's needed to use the dev package, which is usually the
case:
sudo aptitude install libsoup2.4-dev
hope that helps!
