[Sugar-devel] Running jhbuild on Debian Unstable and Ubuntu Intrepid

[Andrés Ambrois]

This is just a heads up for people who might have not followed the recent 
thread and are having difficulties running jhbuild. 

Looks like both Ubuntu Intrepid and Debian Unstable's packages for python-
gnome2 come with a gconf.so that includes an rpath setting. This breaks 
jhbuild in these distributions, as has been discussed previously. 

The current workaround for this is to remove the setting from the library: 

sudo aptitude install chrpath
sudo chrpath -d \
/usr/lib/python-support/python-gnome2/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gconf.so

I have added notices about this in both 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_with_sugar-jhbuild and 
http://sugarlabs.org/go/DevelopmentTeam/Jhbuild

The package in Debian Experimental has this bug fixed [0], which was reported 
in the corresponding Ubuntu bug [1].
