The Vala version that comes with Ubuntu 8.10 is pretty old and will not work with most of the samples from the wiki. You sould deinstall the package and instead download the current release from http://live.gnome.org/Vala/Release extract the archive, then compile and install it with: ./configure make sudo make install Additionally you may want to install the following packages via Synaptic: libgtk2.0-0 (GUI toolkit) libgtk2.0-dev libgee0 (Collections) libgee-dev For every library that you want to use you must install the respective *-dev package.
