Comment:

 I'm having the same problem in Ubuntu 9.04 with the latest updates and
 Ubuntu 8.10 either just installed (without updates) and with the latest
 updates.

 It used to work in Ubuntu 8.10, I was using it some time ago (one or two
 months ago).

 As far as I can see, in file "jhbuild/jhbuild/config.py", the following
 "try-except" fails:

         try:
             SRCDIR
         except NameError:
             raise FatalError(_('Obsolete jhbuild start script, do run
 \'make install\''))

 It seems that SRCDIR is not defined. Where should it be defined?
 Here's the ouptut of a search for string "SRCDIR":

 =[ BEGIN find ]============================================
 morfila at morfila-laptop:~/ceibaljam/sugar/sugar-jhbuild$ find . -type f
 -name '*.py' -exec grep -H SRCDIR {} \;
 ./jhbuild/tests/tests.py:__builtin__.__dict__['SRCDIR'] =
 os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '..')
 ./jhbuild/tests/tests.py:sys.path.insert(0, SRCDIR)
 ./jhbuild/jhbuild/moduleset.py:    moduleset_local_path =
 os.path.join(SRCDIR, 'modulesets')
 ./jhbuild/jhbuild/commands/bot.py:            basedir =
 os.path.join(SRCDIR, 'buildbot')
 ./jhbuild/jhbuild/versioncontrol/hg.py:        if os.path.exists(SRCDIR):
 ./jhbuild/jhbuild/versioncontrol/hg.py:            hg_update_path =
 os.path.join(SRCDIR, 'scripts', 'hg-update.py')
 ./jhbuild/jhbuild/versioncontrol/tarball.py:
 os.path.join(SRCDIR, 'patches', patch)):
 ./jhbuild/jhbuild/config.py:            SRCDIR
 morfila at morfila-laptop:~/ceibaljam/sugar/sugar-jhbuild$
 =[ END find ]==============================================

 The addition of SRCDIR into "__builtin__" should be enough,
 but it seems it's not working.
