Here is the Error I am facing. I really need to get Glade up and running please help.

I used the command

sudo apt-get install glade

And this is what I got when trying to run Glade designer

nirvasi@nirvasiTerminal:~$ glade
GladeUI-Message: 20 missing displayable value for GtkWidget::AtkObject::accessible-role
GladeUI-Message: 1 missing displayable value for GtkCellRendererAccel::accel-mode
GladeUI-Message: Glade needs artwork; a default icon will be used for the following classes:
    GtkApplicationWindow    needs an icon named 'widget-gtk-applicationwindow'

(glade:2331): Gtk-WARNING **: Unknown property: GtkBox.margin-end

(glade:2331): Gtk-WARNING **: Unknown property: GtkBox.margin-end
glade: symbol lookup error: glade: undefined symbol: gtk_widget_set_margin_start
nirvasi@nirvasiTerminal:~$

Before this I was trying to install some libraries to build from source the lastest version of Glade. And I "sudo make install"ed quite a few packages. Could they be the reason this error is occuring?

    what version of ubuntu are you using? What version of gtk are you using? e.g. are you using ubuntu 15.10 with gtk version 3.16 or gtk version 3.18 from a PPA? – fossfreedom Dec 13 '15 at 22:41

I found what was wrong. I had previously tried to build from source the latest version of Glade 3.18.3. But that required my gtk to be be 3.12.0 . But my gtk was 3.10.0 and that seemed to be the latest version acquirable through apt-get install. So I downloaded the source of the actual latest version 3.12.2 and built that from source and executed a make install statement on it.

However the glade 3.18.3 source still wouldn't build. So... There it was. So I gave up on it and thought what if sudo apt-get install glade would work ?

And it was after this that I tried to run glade from the applications menu and the Error I mentioned in the question here happened to me.

So anyway, I did a 

sudo make uninstall

in the source directory of the gtk 3.12.2 . Lo and behold it worked. It uninstalled everything I had installed and now Glade is working.

I'm using ubuntu MATE 14.04 btw.
