What OS do you do your jhbuild stuff on? On F16 I can't get jhbuild working
with the clutter .jhbuildrc file. Problems installing expat. jhbuild
sanitycheck works okay. jhbuild bootstrap fails with one problem after the
next. I like the idea, but what a hassle. Have you had better luck on other
systems getting this working or is this typical with setting up jhbuild?
The clutter-build-setup.sh script does not work for me either.

thnx

Brian
