"gschemas.compiled" not found

[Scott Kostyshak <skostysh princeton edu>]

On Ubuntu 13.10 with a fresh git clone I get the following when trying
to run meld:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/meld", line 180, in <module>
    import meld.meldapp
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/meld/meldapp.py", line
33, in <module>
    import meld.preferences
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/meld/preferences.py",
line 32, in <module>
    from meld.settings import settings, interface_settings
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/meld/settings.py", line
25, in <module>
    False,
gi._glib.GError: Failed to open file
'/usr/share/meld/gschemas.compiled': open() failed: No such file or
directory

I did a search on meld-list and did not find any related thread. Any advice?
