Zenko,

As I said I use jhbuild for all GNOME development. Did you follow all
instructions on http://live.gnome.org/Jhbuild

Overhere http://live.gnome.org/JhbuildIssues you can also find
solutions to common problems.

It can be however that some of the modules don't compile because their
repo is just in non compilable state. You can try to fix it or report
a bug or just wait a day or so. (Usually these errors get fixed pretty
quickly)
