For those on fedora core 6, make sure to install
not only gstreamer and  gstreamer-plugins
but gstreamer-develop and gstreamer-plugins-base-develop as well

After successfully building via
sugar-jhbuild sanitycheck
sugar-jhbuild build
Then get errors
 so
./sugar-jhbuild build meta-sugar-base
then
sugar-jhbuild build
no errors

./sugar-jhbuild run
Running the installed sugar...
Cannot run the emulator. You need to install Xephyr

so
yum install Xephyr

./sugar-jhbuild run

and  finally sugar runs.
Four weeks and thirty attempts later it finally runs!

What is supposed to come up on the screen ?
All I get is a black back ground and a mouse pointer
