Compiling jhbuild itself failed when I followed the steps given in the above link. I got the same error I have pasted in the above mail i.e the error related to M4. I think I should set the path for aclocals of gnome-common. If thats done I think I can build the code with any of the above 2 procedures. So if one of u can help me setting up the path for M4 it would be of great help. Plz help me

Hi all,
        I am really sorry If I am spamming this mailing list. I desperately want to get svn checked gnome-games compiled. I got the aclocal error corrected I did this by exporting the path as export ACLOCAL_FLAGS='-I /home/madhu/gnome-builds/share/local'
So now the above problem is solved but when continuing running autogen it gives the following error.
