OK, I figured out that I need autoconf etc.  So installed them and ran <br>
./autogen.sh and started installing the libraries that it complained <br>
about but ran into a problem with glib.  It kept complaining about <br>
needing glib even after I installed it so I installed glib-devel as well <br>
but it still complained.  I did the same with glibc in case it was a <br>
package name error but still no joy.<br>
<br>
So I&#39;m more or less stymied.<br>

PS This experience has reinforced my belief the PyGObject is the best <br>
way to do GUIs as it hides all these difficult setup issues :-)<br>

&gt;&gt; ​Don&#39;t forget you have to manually select --enable-gtk3 to the<br>
&gt;&gt; configure.​<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; If you untared the tarball into /some/dir giving /some/dir/geany adding<br>
&gt;&gt; --prefix=/some/dir to the configure as well will allow you to install in<br>
&gt;&gt; /some/dir and not touch your system install<br>

&gt;&gt;&gt; &gt; Can you try building from the latest Git version that contains the fix<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; &gt; to see if it fixes your issue? There is a nightly tarball that<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; minimises<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; &gt; the build dependencies you need.<br>
