can't build empathy-git from the AUR

I'm using empathy-devel (2.7.5) is quite stable~ and it supports video chat and audio chat for gtalk, which works even better than pidgin 2.6.1(with video and audio enabled when compiling).

Using empathy-devel (2.7.5) can't hear the voice from the other side. But the person on the other side can hear me~ (The other side was using google chrome with gtalk plugin for gmail under windows system.) 

this happen to my friend who is a archlinux user too.
I don't know if this is a bug or we are missing something to recieve the sound from the other side.

So, I tried to install empathy-git and empathy-devel( I edited the PKGBUILD to the newest version 2.27.91.1), see if it works better~

Unfortunately, I failed to compile both version of empathy above.

I got the same error when compiling~~(not the dependecy check in the PKGBUILD)

configure: error: gnome-doc-utils >= 0.17.3 not found

I've already installed gnome-common-svn gnome-doc-utils-svn.

1. Now i have no idea how to get the latest empathy installed on my system.
2. And if being unable to hear the other's voice is not a bug of empathy (2.7.5), what can I do to make it works properly.

Please give me a hand~

Thank you so much!

Re: can't build empathy-git from the AUR

you have to update gnome-doc-utils using abs to that version. i believe that they are preparing for gnome 2.28 release. also you need to use telepathy-mission-control-5 from aur.

like a side note. gnome-doc-utils-svn is not even used anymore. they migrated to git so in svn nobody commited anything.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
