[Pan-users] Error compiling under Ubuntu 8.04

[David Shochat]

I have a suspicion that this has already come up (was it that long 
thread about glib includes?), but here's the error I'm getting:
my-tree.cc: In member function ‘virtual void 
pan::DataImpl::MyTree::set_filter(pan::Data::ShowType, const 
pan::FilterInfo*)’:
my-tree.cc:99: error: ‘g_assert’ was not declared in this scope

I see in my-tree.cc:
#include <glib/gmessages.h> // for g_assert
But poking around, it looks like g_assert is actually defined not in 
gmessages.h, but in gtestutils.h. Making that substitution fixed it.

Ok, it looks like Duncan at least ran into this:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/pan-users/2008-03/msg00041.html (and 
many others)
How do I figure out what glib version I have? Going by package listing, 
it looks like maybe I have 2.16.3.

Another issue I've noticed since upgrading to "hardy heron" is that 
quitting from pan sometimes takes a long time (20 seconds or so). This 
is independent of whether I use the version I compiled myself or the one 
supplied by with Ubuntu (which is also 0.132).
