I don't know the "recommended" solution, but this sort of thing I ran
into things like this numerous times during the process. I just copied
the corresponding .pc files over from my system pkgconfig directory (not
sure where that is on Ubuntu), to the pkgconfig folder in my jhbuild
build directory and all was well.
