I just went back and looked at the problem you were having (sorry -- I
had more or less ignored the mail when it first came up). For some
reason, things were failing int he AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0 macro that is run as
part of 'configure' and it was not setting the GLIB_GENMARSHAL test.
This _may_ have been apparent from a very careful examination of the
output of 'configure', but only after you already knew what the cause
was, I suspect.

So, this isn't some magic build problem that the guys have fixed
recently. Something was slightly broken with your previous setup and it
was not picking up all the GLib requirements correctly. In particular,
this command

	pkg-config --variable=glib_genmarshal glib-2.0

was failing for some reason. If people see this problem in future, we
need to get them to run that particular command and check that it really
fails and then fix things so that it works.

(I am mostly just writing this out so that it appears in the archives,
since Richard mentioned it had appeared before).

Cheers,
Malcolm
