Hi, thanks for your help. I tried installing gnome-boxes with no-deps.

Do *not* use jhbuild bootstrap After seeing the config.log of this failed configure attempt, Nikhil's system was using a pkg-config built through jhbuild during bootstrapping, and this pkg-config does not look in /usr/lib/pkg-config/ for .pc files, which means all the packages installed through apt/dpkg could not be used.
