Missing Library File After GCompris Compilation

[Tamer Alkhouli]

I am bundling the activity using the provided bundleit.sh script, which you
can find here:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gcompris/tree/src?h=gcomprixo

I am using Ubuntu, are you suggesting that I should use aptitude to generate
the XO file? If yes, how can that be done?

Thanks,
