jhbuild builds its own version of python in your specified prefix
(/opt/gnome2) by default. It's part of the bootstrap stage. It's
most likely looking there and unable to find the other package you
have installed under /usr. I ran into a similar problem some time
ago. I believe the following should fix this:
Install the gdbm-devel package for your distribution (it may have a
different name than 'gdbm-devel'; that's the fedora package name).
Make jhbuild think it hasn't built python yet. Do this by editing
$prefix/share/jhbuild/packagedb.xml and remove the line containing
package="python". Note that you'll have to manually replace $prefix
with your prefix (/opt/gnome2 by default, check your ~/.jhbuildrc to
see if you changed it)
Rebuild python. Do this via the command
jhbuild -m bootstrap buildone python
('jhbuild bootstrap' probably works too, fwiw, but I prefer the longer
more specific form).
Cheers,
Elijah
