I'm experimenting with Vala and so far I like how it works. However, I tried to compile a basic gee example from the sample programs and I get the following:
$ valac --pkg Gee-0.8 list.vala error: Package `Gee-0.8' not found in specified Vala API directories or GObject-Introspection GIR directories Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) A search of /usr/... reveals no gir or vapi files for Gee-0.8, only gir1.2-gee-0.8 and libgee-0.8 related files and binaries.
