Chamila,

if you're just trying to build Gnote, it's probably easiest to just build
directly from source rather than using jhbuild (though that is also
possible).

For the build to work, you'll need to install various libraries which Gnote
needs.  (The Boost unit test library which was not found above is one of
these.)  On Ubuntu, the easiest way to install these libraries is like this:

$ sudo apt-get build-dep gnote

If you do that, I think your build should work.  If you're still having
trouble, just let us know.  cheers -

adam
