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 link[post here](https://github.com/molefrog/cupsidity/issues/2)), 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
