Problem with building Gnome-Shell

[Dean Loros <ubuntu1user gmail com>]

Hi Owen---

I've been building the shell for the last couple of months & hit a
stopping block last week. Normally I would just rebuild every day until
the problem resolved it's self, but more than a week has gone by with
the same problem....I tried to contact the list about it, but I have not
seen a answer yet.

I am one of the alpha-testers for Ubuntu--We are currently at alpha 3 &
bringing in the 2.27 updates--don't know if that is a issue or not--My
build stops at gir-repository with this:

Any thoughts on this?
