Fab, thanks Simon. The changes to the sugar-jhbuild script work well  
for me here, all up and running again. FWIW I did have one other issue  
I had to manually fix before I could successfully build, the error was:

*** Building sugar-update-control *** [22/37]
python setup.py build
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "setup.py", line 2, in <module>
     from DistUtilsExtra.command import * # gettext support
ImportError: No module named DistUtilsExtra.command

I re-tried:

	./sugar-jhbuild depscheck

...but this gave no indication that the module was needed, or missing,  
so I manually installed it with:

	sudo yum install python-distutils-extra

Build was all happy after this.

Regards,
--Gary
