Something's wrong there. It didn't get prefix set correctly (/usr/local is the default). It should be installing where everything else is going (~/gtk/inst unless you changed it in .jhbuildrc-custom). I just did a check-build of zlib and it installed in the right place, so I'm at a bit of a loss about how it configured wrong.

Because it got installed in the wrong place.

Yeah, that would be a work-around, but better to figure out why zlib got misconfigured.

That's a screwed up makefile: -lltdl shouldn't be a target.

The install instructions for pyexiv2 have you run `scons` and `scons install` instead, so I tried dropping into the shell and running those, but was quickly met with a host of errors.

Did Scons get built? What about boost-python?

Everything you've mentioned in this list is actually optional, so if everything else is OK, you should be able to 
jhbuild buildone gramps 
and go to work. Some of the reports won't work since they don't have graphviz, but Webview (which is what requires WebKit -- which I don't even put in the app bundle because it's so big) and PyExiv2 (for editing the exit data on images) aren't necessary for almost all users.
