Thanks for your comment.
"--force" works to me now.
And I will look into jhbuild for further development.
Could you give me a quick guide or web page about how to work with jhbuild.
Thanks in advance

I would not recommend using --force unless you really know what your
doing. Blindly force installing random packages is a quick way to end
up with a completely hosed rpm database.
That would be fine in bob's case.

Using jhbuild is fine and all, but there shouldn't be any conflicts
introduce by building a package locally and then manually installing
it.
jhbuild handles that pretty well -- completly indepent source and
install locations.
That is.. unless you picked up a non-moblin source rpm, and were unlucky
enough to for this new package to try and install files that are already
owned by some other package.
I recommend getting the source from git for developers, for better
integrated to the development process (keeping up with upstream,
working on branches, generating / sending patches, etc..)
