Re: Newbie: problems building dia from SVN

["Pablo Gra\\~na" <pablo grana globant com>]

THere are a couple of packages you need to install. I guess gmodule and gobject 
are in the glib-dev ubuntu package (libglib2.0-dev, I think - it containts the 
development files for glib - headers and such).

There are other packages you need, watch for output like

No package 'gmodule-2.0' found

You will need to google a little bit to know which ubuntu package contains the 
missing libraries.
