I am trying to install pygobject using jhbuild. And I am getting this error:

configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.48.0) were not met:
Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.48.0' but version of GLib is 2.38.2

So, I have installed glib-2.0 from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/%2Bsource/glib2.0 using

./configure
make
make install

After installing this library I have tried again and getting same error.

So I check this How to solve old GLIB error question. And tried setting two variables like this 

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib

And than tried again but no luck :(

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

  • Why did you [re]installed glib-2.0? You had already version 2.38.2 according to your error message. So I would update your libraries: sudo apt-get update that is the safest way. If the version is still <2.48.0 then go for manual installation, but this can be tricky, as you see :-. Now, for Ubunut 16.04. the current libglib2.0-0 is version 2.48.2, maybe a reason for migrating into the higher version. – loved.by.Jesus May 12 '20 at 07:07
  • Another hint: sometimes when installing python packages, it helps to install also the dev package of the library (see linkpost here), so that python installs and works properly. Try, thus, installing also libglib2.0-dev, it might work. – loved.by.Jesus May 12 '20 at 07:11
