jhbuild / libgsf more info.

[Prof J C Nash <nashjc ncf ca>]

In case it helps others:

I managed to get a gnumeric build by downloading libgsf version 1.14.6 
and doing a "manual" build of it that matched jhbuild, namely

- download from 
http://download.gnome.org/sources/libgsf/1.14/libgsf-1.14.6.tar.gz
to ~/checkout/gnome2/ 
and unpack
- enter the libgsf-1.14.6  directory
- './configure --prefix=/opt/gnome2'  so the build goes to the same 
place as jhbuild's efforts
- 'jhbuild buildone gnumeric' (I'd already run everything else with 
'jhbuild build gnumeric' before getting an error that the libgsf was 
1.14.5).

Hopefully, I can gradually get more proficient in working with the 
scripts and provide information, fixes, and possibly a build-bot on one 
of my research servers. One of the first things will be to get jhbuild 
up to date with gnumeric.
