Here is the problem.

As a good habit, try to look at the first lines in the error message
since if there is a missing include files, later errors won't make
sense.

Are you sure you have the -dev package for gtksourceview? try to make
sure the above header is actually installed (should be in
/usr/include/gtksourceview-2.0/). (Obviously, if you've already
compiled something that uses sourceview, this is not the problem)
