I would use that package manager of yours to remove jhbuild from the system (uninstall_package jhbuild), and the re-run the conf>make>install commands. This is just a guess, and me hopes someone who understands this technology (can one specify sysconfdir to /etc?) will chime in. Either that or giving jhbuild user write access to /usr/etc, and be done with it.
I did so after your last message, and bootstrap ran (raises more questions), but I do prefer to use /etc for config files.
It was explained that jhbuild is intended to be used as chroot (the reason prefix/etc is created). Am I building an interim environment? Do I use an interim location and then 'make dist'?
How is one supposed to install Gnome 3? The web page (http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/) indicates to use jhbuild.
I have found no instructions that detail installation. Perhaps I have not looked in the right place.
Still open for suggestions. Thanks, Brian. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
