I didn't find the file you suggested. Did you mean ~/Source/jhbuild/ 
modulesets/bootstrap.modules? This was added to the file I found:
<dep package="subversion" autogen-sh="configure"/>   <!-- Needed for  
Tiger, skipped otherwise -->

I ran jhbuild again but I saw this error message again:
./autogen.sh --prefix /Users/user/gtk/inst
invalid parameter: '--prefix'

Where is the jhbuildrc file located? I found a ~/Source/jhbuild/ 
jhbuild/defaults.jhbuildrc file. Is that it?

I was able to install bison 3.0.4 using TigerBrew. Is there a way I  
could this version of bison? Same situation of SVN.

Thank you very much for the help.
