Re: build issues

[Prof J C Nash <nashjc ncf ca>]

Following advice from Priit Laes, I got svn working again but had also 
got it going on a new virtual Debian.

Unfortunately, I seem to be getting loads of bugs with jhbuild, 
particularly concerning python-related problems.  This afternoon, I even 
tried blowing away jhbuild and re-installing as per 
live.gnome.org/jhbuild/, but even that is halting with an error claiming 
I have only automake1.8 rather than 1.9, and failing to find COPYING or 
INSTALL.

Are others seeing similar problems? Or is it time to check my hardware?
