dbus-glib installation problem

[Luigi Paioro]

OK, thanks, now it works! Perhaps I mistook something setting the 
environment variables... This command "pkg-config --cflags --libs 
dbus-1" has helped me. Sorry!

But now I've got another problem:

Making all in tools

It seems it's searching for $dbus_prefix/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket 
but it cannot find it, and in fact there isn't, even if I've launched 
D-Bus with the dbus-launch command. How can I do to create a system 
message bus?

Thanks

Luigi
