There is no need to use su - you can install jhbuild in your home
directory and it will run everything fine from there, without changing
the versions of your system's packages. I'm not sure if doing
sugar-jhbuild as root (su) is even recommended at all, since I believe
the intent of the system was to allow you to download, build, and run
Sugar without disrupting your computer's operating environment.

Thanks for your response: It worked when I commented out the CDROM
drive from the sources.list file.
Now, however, I get a problem while building sugar:
When I issue the command './sugar-jhbuild update' from the
sugar-jhbuild directory, I get the following error despite running the
command as su.
Error:
'sugar-jhbuild: Can't create /etc/apt/sugar-jhbuild/build directory'

Either do what it says (insert the Edgy Eft CD) or remove the CD-ROM
line from your /etc/apt/sources.list and run apt-get update which will
force it to look online for the packages.
