Thank you for reporting, this was an doc issue.

@krampstudio, libclang-3.4-dev is not available on Ubuntu 16.04 .

And here's what I found on YouComplete's README.md

[Complete this step ONLY if you care about semantic completion support for C-family languages. Otherwise it's not necessary.]

Download the latest version of libclang. Clang is an open-source compiler that can compile C/C++/Objective-C/Objective-C++. The libclang library it provides is used to power the YCM semantic completion engine for those languages. YCM is designed to work with libclang version 3.9 or higher.

I guess, we don't need C-family languages, no? Therefore we don't need to install libclang ? Correct me I miss understood here.

@muhajirframe you're right. I was also using the clang compiler option at some point but it's now removed. I've udpated the doc : https://github.com/vim-dist/webvim/commit/1ae67d6f1c931aeac61d724fadda71fa7fa1d944
