I did so after your last message, and bootstrap ran (raises more 
questions), but I do prefer to use /etc for config files.

It was explained that jhbuild is intended to be used as chroot (the 
reason prefix/etc is created). Am I building an interim environment?  Do 
I use an interim location and then 'make dist'?

How is one supposed to install Gnome 3? The web page 
(http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/) indicates to use jhbuild.

I have found no instructions that detail installation.  Perhaps I have 
not looked in the right place.

Still open for suggestions.

Thanks, Brian.
