Dbus mainloop.h missing error

Question

I used

gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs dbus-1` hello-serv.c  -o server

to compile a dbus program and getting error:

hello-serv.c:7:32: fatal error: dbus/dbus-mainloop.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

I'm developing in C low level API.

I couldn't find the mainloop.h in any of the include directories.

Did you install the development files, e.g. `libdbus-1-dev` on Ubuntu? — Kerrek SB, Jun 26 '11 at 20:29
I'm using fedora and there is no package named libdbus-1-dev in yum repositories . :( — scari, Jun 27 '11 at 09:03

If dbus development files is installed correctly, the installed dbus might be old so that it does not have dbus-mainloop.h

If you have yum, try this to check dbus-mainloop.h is provided or not.

# yum provides '*/dbus-mainloop.h'

If it returns none, you should consult with dbus-document for corresponding version.
