How to setup libsoup for ubuntu

Question

Hi,

I am trying to install libsoup for my ubuntu environment:

checking for LIBSOUP... configure: error: Package requirements (libsoup-2.4 >= 2.28.2) were not met:

No package 'libsoup-2.4' found

I tried

$ sudo apt-get install libsoup2.4-dev

and now it said:

checking for LIBSOUP... configure: error: Package requirements (libsoup-2.4 >= 2.28.2) were not met:

Requested 'libsoup-2.4 >= 2.28.2' but version of libsoup is 2.4.1

Thanks for any suggestion in how to fix this problem.

It looks like you need to fix the configure script of the package you are trying to build as it seems to get the test wrong.
