I'm new to Linux. I need to install Python gtk+ 3. Before that I'm supposed to install and build jhbuild. I installed most of the dependencies manually, since it was throwing errors. I currently get this error when I give the command jhbuild build.

Required packages:
  System installed packages which are too old:
    plymouth (ply-boot-client.pc, required=0.8.9, installed=0.8.8)
    gnutls (gnutls.pc, required=3.1, installed=2.12.23)
    libsystemd-daemon (libsystemd-daemon.pc, required=210, installed=204)
    libsystemd-login (libsystemd-login.pc, required=210, installed=204)
  No matching system package installed:
    libsystemd (libsystemd.pc, required=210)
jhbuild build: Required system dependencies not installed. Install using the command 'jhbuild sysdeps --install' or to ignore system dependencies use command-line option --nodeps

What should I do? Also, if there is a better way to install Python GTK+ 3, then please give suggestions in that regard as well.

I am on Ubuntu 14.04 and behind a college proxy.

As you said

I'm new to Linux

the answer is simple: Forget it.

Trusty is to old to build the latest GNOME/GTK3 release with jhbuild. Therefore upgrade to the latest Ubuntu release. You could compile each version yourself. But trust me, that's the wrong way for you.

System installed packages which are too old:
    plymouth (ply-boot-client.pc, required=0.8.9, installed=0.8.8)
    gnutls (gnutls.pc, required=3.1, installed=2.12.23)
    libsystemd-daemon (libsystemd-daemon.pc, required=210, installed=204)
    libsystemd-login (libsystemd-login.pc, required=210, installed=204)

You need newer development libraries. In this case, you have to compile it yourself as your are on Trusty.

No matching system package installed:
    libsystemd (libsystemd.pc, required=210)

The library libsystemd-dev isn't available for Trusty. Goto the developer page, download the source code and compile it yourself.
