Trouble installing in Debian

[Hashem Nasarat <hnasarat gmail com>]

I'm having trouble installing ostree on Debian 7.
When, as root, I run ostree admin install (with the full path of my
jhbuilt ostree binary), it errors out with "symbol lookup error:
/home/hashem/sources/gnome-install/bin/ostree: undefined symbol:
g_spawn_check_exit_status"

What is the suggested way of running ostree admin install as root?
Jhbuild doesn't allow running as root, so I assumed the full path to the
binary would have worked.

Thanks!
