So you need gobject-introspection. The "gobject-introspection" Ubuntu
package might provide that. I don't know.

Again, you need to install some dependencies.

Note that few of these dependencies, or at least not the correct
versions, are available in Ubuntu. Note that you are building glom
1.19.x, which requires newer stuff.

Building from source is always difficult and always will be. Sorry.

Thanks for the reminder. Today I uploaded the latest Glom 1.18 version
to the openismus PPA for Ubuntu Natty: 
https://launchpad.net/~openismus-team/+archive/ppa

It seems to work, but I have not tested it thoroughly.

There are many more fixes in Glom 1.19.x, which will soon become a
stable Glom 1.20. I will try to package it for Ubuntu Oneiric, but it
might be difficult. I can't pacakge Glom 1.20 for Ubuntu Natty because
it doesn't have gtkmm 3.
