What version of Ubuntu are you running? I'm going to assume that
you're running Lucid Lynx (10.04), since the last error message you
sent mentioned Lucid. If that's correct, then you'll need to build
Shotwell from source, since the Yorba PPA does not (and will not)
include Shotwell 0.8 for Lucid. You'll also need to build Vala from
source, since Lucid comes with Vala 0.8 which is too old for building
Shotwell, and the Vala PPA would give you Vala 0.11 which is too new
for building Shotwell.
So here we go. To build Vala from source, you'll need to extract it,
then run 'configure' and 'make'. Your previous message showed that
you were doing this correctly, but were missing at least one build
dependency for Vala (Flex). To install all required build
dependencies (including Flex), do this:
$ sudo apt-get build-dep vala
After that, do this:
$ cd ~/vala-0.10.2
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
No luck....here's the results (yes, I'm running 10.04)
e...@echo-laptop:~/vala-0.10.2$ sudo apt-get build-dep vala
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done

OK. The problem is that the Vala PPA is still one of the software
sources on your system. This is preventing 'apt-get build-dep' from
working, probably because the Vala PPA doesn't include a source package
(which is where build dependencies are listed). If you're building Vala
yourself, you really don't want the Vala PPA around anyway. So you need
to do the following:
1. Remove all packages which might have come from the Vala PPA:
$ sudo apt-get remove vala libgee
2. Remove the Vala PPA from your software sources list. To do this, go
to System->Administration->Software Sources and choose the Other
Software tab. You should see the Vala PPA listed. Uncheck it or remove
it from the list.
3. Now try the 'sudo apt-get build-dep' command I listed above.
Hope this helps!
