can't build gnome-shell: missing meta-plugin.h

[Tim Cuthbertson <tim gfxmonk net>]

It's been a while since I had build issues, can anyone tell what might
be going on?

I'm trying to build *just* the shell, I believe I have all the build
dependencies installed so as not to need jhbuild (I did not have good
experiences with building from the jhbuild edge).

When I do a make in gnome-shell, I get this error:

  CC     run_js_test-run-js-test.o
In file included from run-js-test.c:38:0:
shell-global.h:9:30: fatal error: meta/meta-plugin.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[3]: *** [run_js_test-run-js-test.o] Error 1

I have installed mutter-devel, and rpm sayeth:

$ rpm -ql mutter-devel
/usr/bin/mutter-theme-viewer
/usr/bin/mutter-window-demo
/usr/include/mutter
/usr/include/mutter/meta
/usr/include/mutter/meta/atomnames.h
/usr/include/mutter/meta/boxes.h
/usr/include/mutter/meta/common.h
/usr/include/mutter/meta/compositor-mutter.h
/usr/include/mutter/meta/compositor.h
/usr/include/mutter/meta/display.h
/usr/include/mutter/meta/errors.h
/usr/include/mutter/meta/gradient.h
/usr/include/mutter/meta/group.h
/usr/include/mutter/meta/keybindings.h
/usr/include/mutter/meta/main.h
/usr/include/mutter/meta/meta-plugin.h
/usr/include/mutter/meta/meta-shadow-factory.h
/usr/include/mutter/meta/meta-window-actor.h
/usr/include/mutter/meta/prefs.h
/usr/include/mutter/meta/preview-widget.h
/usr/include/mutter/meta/screen.h
/usr/include/mutter/meta/theme.h
/usr/include/mutter/meta/types.h
/usr/include/mutter/meta/util.h
/usr/include/mutter/meta/window.h
/usr/include/mutter/meta/workspace.h
/usr/lib64/libmutter.so
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libmutter.pc
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/mutter-plugins.pc
/usr/share/man/man1/mutter-theme-viewer.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/mutter-window-demo.1.gz

And just for thrills, the file does indeed exist:
$ ll /usr/include/mutter/meta/meta-plugin.h
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 13K May 26 06:01 /usr/include/mutter/meta/meta-plugin.h

So I'm pretty sure the file should be found. Any idea what I'm missing?
