Couldn't find include 'Soup-2.4.gir' (search path: '['/usr/share', '/home/ferjm/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share/gir-1.0', '/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/gir-1.0', '/usr/local/share/gir-1.0', '/usr/share/gir-1.0', '/var/lib/snapd/desktop/gir-1.0', '/usr/share/gir-1.0', '/usr/share/gir-1.0']')
```

I had libsoup 2.72.0 installed locally via dnf and I had to manually build and install 2.99.3 to make the configure step pass.

I see Soup-3.0.gir but no Soup-2.4.gir in /usr/local/share/gir-1.0
