Does this answer your question? pygobject-2.28.6 won't configure: No package 'gobject-introspection-1.0' found, how do I resolve? – Seaward

Answer 1

First I'd try to install the developer package of libgirepository1.0. That's Linux distribution dependent how you'd achieve that and what is the exact name of the developer package:

• Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, etc.: gobject-introspection-devel
• Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, etc.: libgirepository1.0-dev
• Arch: gobject-introspection

If that doesn't help then you may be missing some packages from your requirements.txt, as an example see: No package 'gobject-introspection-1.0' found while deploying to Heroku

To know what you are missing we'd need to know more about your configuration.
