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.
