Good Morning Adam,

I really thought I had included the distribution name. Teaches me (again)
not to write late at night. I'm using Debian testing.

sudo ldconfig did the trick! I had to run it to get Shotwell to build
successfully in the first place last night as it was not finding the needed
parts of Vala. I thought once that had been done it had been done and there
was no need to run ldconfig again. Will go back and read some more on this.

Thanks again!
