/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gtypes.h:34:24: fatal error: glibconfig.h: No such file or directory

[Daniel Polehn]

Looking through some of the bugs linked to oneiric alpha 2 it appears that the may be a problem with glib2.0-dev. A lot of packages that reference gtypes.h are failing to build, for example see lp:755924. The error looks like this '/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gtypes.h:34:24: fatal error: glibconfig.h: No such file or directory', I believe that glibconfig.h has moved or something. This appears to me to be a bug with glib2.0-dev and not the packages that use it. Am I correct is this something that needs to be fixed in glib2.0-dev or is there some change that needs to happen to these other packages?

Encountered the same error while trying to compile Last.fm Scrobbler from sources. Found some bug at Emacs and Debian bug list that seems to be related.

Just tried to build TextRoom from sources and got the same error.
/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gtypes.h:34:24: fatal error: glibconfig.h:

To get the compilation to work I had to add the full path, which for me, 11.04, kubuntu x86_64, is:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h

same here, adding the right path to compilation of my program by -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include/ fixed the issue for me. Still, this seems like a general problem?

Same error when trying to install LibJingle. Indeed, 11.04 Ubuntu i386: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h is the correct location of glibconfig.h..
