FWIW, I also do compile manually from sources. I'm using Debian, and try
to get recent libraries from unstable/experimental, I generally only use
gobject-introspection/gtksourceview/gdl from git and libgda from a
tarball. (In this last cycle, anjuta started to depend on "unreleased"
software, so I ended up building many things from source).

FYI, if you are running a "modern system" (e.g. GNU/Linux), you can even
remove them completely, that's what the GNOME-Shell developers advise
