[GPaste 3.40.1] Error in gnome extensions

[mysticaltech]

Hello, I was finally able to compile and install for OpenSuse Tumbletweed latest with Gnome 4, it works well, but the gnome extension doesn't, I get this error:

Requiring GPaste, version 1.0: Typelib file for namespace 'GPaste', version '1.0' not found

Any ideas?

And thank you so much btw, I love this tool, just moved over from mac which I've been using a similar one, and it's been a life saver!

Looks like gnome-shell cannot find some stuff installed by GPaste (probably because it might be installed in /usr/local and it looks into /usr ?) Namely it cannot find the gobject-introspection data required for the JavaScript extension to use the C library

Thanks @Keruspe. Finally, I removed everything with sudo make uninstall, then deleted the folder, rebooted, then cloned from master, and redid the steps without using sudo. Used it as in the commands just for sudo make install and it worked 🎉
