It means you need the python expat xml modules. Run python, and type 'import
expat'. If it barfs, you do not have it. If it returns to the next prompt,
you do.

So, given that you've installed those correctly between attempts, you need
to:

  cd gnome/libglade
  make clean
  cd ../../meta/gnome-desktop
  make install

This will rebuild libglade correctly, and then the following modules will
build correctly too.

Hooray. :-)
