Oh, Seemanta's issue is being triggered when he enables the automatic
tests.  By default you don't have these activated, unless you either set
the NEMIVER_DEVEL=on environment variable prior to running
autogen.sh/configure, or you pass --enable-autotest to
autogen.sh/configure.

Right.  That's in the master branch.

But in the gtk2-branch branch, the minimum version of sourceviewmm
version is still 1.9.4.  So assuming Seemanta is using gtk2-branch, he
should be able to use the sourceviewmm from a reasonably recent Debian
and Ubuntu just fine.

Indeed.  This is why I am keeping and maintaining the gtk2-branch
around.  I am actually hacking against that branch by default to make
sure things keep working for people on GNOME2.  I then forward-port my
changes to master.  Kalev's GNOME3 related changes go to master
directly, though.

Best.
