configure: error: D-Bus library is required (install bluez on ubuntu )

so you identified the problem with your installation.  when running
"./configure" if the configure fails, the last line of code will tell you
the first dependency error.  The problem is that you're missing a
program/library that's required by the bluez.  There's typically a whole
chain of dependencies for any one program that need to be satisfied.  So
what you've got to do to finish compiling is to track down one by one all
the dependencies that cause a configure error.  In each case you need to
navigate to the extracted download folder, and run the "./configure" ->
"make" -> "make install" (with prefixed "sudo " in case you have a
permission denial) chain pausing to satisfy each subsequent dependency as
you go.  In this case you want the D-Bus library (
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/dbus.html), which in
turn requires the expat library (
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/expat.html).  So
download and extract both then install the expat library first and then the
d-bus library, then try to configure bluez again.
