Comment 2 for bug 1179279

I've checked and I have both installed. As far as I can see, I have all of the requisite dependencies and their *-dev counterparts. I will give that PPA a bash though (although I'd prefer to get compiling from source sorted). If memory serves, the last time I hit up against something like this, it was because I was using the 'wrong' version of vala (I've got the latest 0.18 installed; could that be the problem?).
