errro in configure step glib-2.0 >= 2.66.0' but version of GLib is 2.64.6 Ubuntu 20.04
Hi,
I try to compile the actual version of gnome-commander on a fresh installed Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop First I have an error that flex is not installed, I fixed this with
sudo apt -y install flex
now the flex error is gone but I get this output when running ./configure

configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.66.0) were not met:
Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.66.0' but version of GLib is 2.64.6
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GLIB_CFLAGS
and GLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
Thanks in advance Cheers Dirk
