Installing of D-Bus

If you're running GNU/Linux, your distribution may already come with D-Bus. You may check presence and version with your distribution's package manager, although a more universal option exists.

To determine your version of D-Bus, type the following (# is the shell prompt):

# pkg-config --modversion dbus-1

If it reports a version of 0.23.x or upper, you should be alright. However, if it states that the package was not found, or reports a lower version, you will need to install a new copy of D-Bus.
