Hi All,
I would like to play a little bit with libgda, libgda-ui and (the new gobject-enabled) C++ and/or Vala bindings, so I just cloned libgda from the GIT repository and I tried to configure it with the gobject-introspection support (and a few other things):

$ ./configure --enable-vala --enable-introspection --enable-gda-gi --enable-gdaui-gi --with-ui --with-postgres-libdir-name=/usr/include/postgres

and I've got this error:

checking for gobject-introspection... configure: error: gobject-introspection-1.0 is not installed

but, the gobject-introspection package is installed:

$ dpkg -l | grep gobject-introspection*
ii  gobject-introspection                  1.30.0-0ubuntu2            Generate interface introspection data for GObject libraries
ii  python-gobject                         3.0.0-0ubuntu4            Python 2.x bindings for gobject-introspection libraries

and the the config.ac seems to be performing the required check:

GOBJECT_INTROSPECTION_CHECK([0.6.5]) ... etc...

So the info contained in:

http://developer.gnome.org/anjuta-build-tutorial/stable/library-autotools.html.en

... is not of help.

Have you installed the package libgirepository1.0-dev? I think it's the package which contains the  gobject-introspection-1.0.pc file needed when the configure script is executed. I'm not sure how it's named for Linux Mint12 (that name is for Ubuntu).

Regards,
