Hi Girogio,

I forgot to ask, but, are you using the destiny branch or zaku? It looks
like you're using zaku.

In your _source_ directory, not the build dir,  (so:
nox/src/nox/coreapps/messenger), you should have a file called
"jsonmsg_event.i", which creates the module you're missing. That exists
only in destiny
