It seems you are missing some undeclared dependencies. Try adding libpopt-dev, zip, unzip, python-gnome2, python-gnome2-desktop; I found these in an old version of the jhbuild page, <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/index.php?title=Development_Team/Jhbuild&oldid=21330#Dealing_with_dependencies">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/index.php?title=Development_Team/Jhbuild&oldid=21330#Dealing_with_dependencies</a> Jameson <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 24, 2009 at 5:56 PM, Edward Cherlin <<a href="mailto:echerlin@gmail.com">echerlin@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="im">On Tue, Mar 24, 2009 at 12:49 PM, Sascha Silbe <<a href="mailto:sascha-ml-ui-sugar-devel@silbe.org">sascha-ml-ui-sugar-devel@silbe.org</a>> wrote: > On Tue, Mar 24, 2009 at 11:19:33AM -0700, Edward Cherlin wrote: > >> 1237918544.817512 STARTUP: Starting the shell >> mokurai@mokurai-laptop:~/dev/jhbuild/sugar-jhbuild$ XIO: fatal IO >> error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0" >> after 452 requests (452 known processed) with 0 events remaining. >> XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server >> ":100.0" >> after 496 requests (496 known processed) with 0 events remaining. > > Are the last few lines the result of you killing Xephyr manually or did they </div>> appear immediately?

I didn't know where to start. So is it the gconf problem?
