Getting missing dependency for compilation glib-compile-schemas

Question

I Downloaded empathy-3.0.1.tar.bz2 to install in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
I ran the makefile and I got the error :

configure: error: glib-compile-schemas not found.

How can I fix this problem ? Please help me.

[probably related](http://askubuntu.com/questions/161739/why-does-launchpad-fail-to-find-glib-compile-schemas-while-building-for-ppa) if you find a suitable solution there, please post it as answer. — cauon, Oct 22 '12 at 14:14
@cauon The solution [there](http://askubuntu.com/questions/161739/why-does-launchpad-fail-to-find-glib-compile-schemas-while-building-for-ppa) should definitely work here too (and is equivalent to [this answer here](http://askubuntu.com/a/234150/22949)). If you have a similar problem and that solution *didn't* work for you, I recommend [posting a new question](http://askubuntu.com/questions/ask). — Eliah Kagan, Dec 29 '12 at 21:55

You need the header files. In Ubuntu and other Debian-based operating systems, header files are provided by -dev packages. So install libglib2.0-dev , by clicking that link or by running:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev

As far as I can tell, glib-compile-schemas is not available in any package for 10.04 LTS (Lucid). What I did to get around this, is to compile and install the latest glib manually, using: ./configure && make && make install. I also needed to add /usr/local/lib to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
