Maybe this can help someone else.
I figured out what was the problem, I compiled dbus like this
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-xml-docs --disable-doxygen-docs


and the when I started the daemon: /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session
no pid/socket file was under /usr/var/run/dbus, it was in /var/run/dbus 
and by default the make looks at /usr/var/run/dbus so I changed my 
configure for dbus to be like this

./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/usr --disable-xml-docs 
--disable-doxygen-docs && make && make install

after that I started the daemon : /usr/bin/dbus-launch 
--exit-with-session and later
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-xml-docs --disable-doxygen-docs && 
make && make install , under the dbus-glib folder

now I have dbus and dbus-glib running and im happy
