As Gonzalo pointed out we do not need to build telepathy we can use the 
system one. So after installing 'redhat-lsb' that the 'lsb_release -r' 
command returns the correct distro in use I added a sysdep config file 
for Fedora 17 like:

[erikos at t61 sugar-jhbuild]$ cat config/sysdeps/50fedora-17.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<dependencies>
   <package name="metacity" source="metacity"/>
   <package name="pylint" source="pylint"/>
   <package name="python-xklavier" source="python-xklavier"/>
   <package name="telepathy-gabble" source="telepathy-gabble"/>
   <package name="telepathy-glib" source="telepathy-glib"/>
   <package name="telepathy-salut" source="telepathy-salut"/>
   <package name="python-telepathy" source="python-telepathy"/>
   <package name="telepathy-mission-control" 
source="telepathy-mission-control"/>
</dependencies>

Now when you run './sugar-jhbuild depscheck' it will give you the 
correct dependencies.

When installing them I came across an issue when installing gcc, 
enabling the 'fedora-updates-testing' repo for yum fixed that for me though.

Having installed all the deps, I built sugar and run it fine.

Cheers,
