This is an annoying new problem in jhbuild. I guess there's a reason
that it doesn't use stuff from /usr, but I fix that by doing this:

#Use existing packages even inside jhbuild:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig

in a script before starting jhbuild.

I think you can also use addpath() in jhbuildrc. That is mentioned here,
for instance:
http://live.gnome.org/JhbuildOnUbuntu


This might introduce the additional problem that libtool insists on
using some libraries from /usr/lib that you _don't_ want, such as old
versions of glib, instead of cvs versions of glib with new API. If that
happens, try _carefully_ deleting all .la files in /usr/lib. It's
extreme, but it works, and everyone seems to do it.
