In the continuing saga

[R. Victor Klassen]

So I was unable to get back to this for awhile, but I have now got much closer.

	I think the problem I was having earlier was that it was finding remnants from the stable build.  Not totally sure, but that’s my best guess.   I cleaned out everything to little more than a bare account, and started over.   

I did have to manually install a few dependencies:
	libpng was required by cairo
	gtk-doc was required by tango
	libtifff was required by gdkpixbuf

These I installed by running jhbuild in a different window and then re-running the complaining packages.

Getttext took quite some time to get over.  For some reason it didn’t seem to matter how I configured the path, it still insisted on finding getttext in /usr/bin so I finally installed a newer version in /usr/bin and all was well.  

As for boost, I followed the instructions about doing it manually in a subshell but got an error about requiring a 64 bit instruction when compiling 32 bit.  So I changed the 32 to a 64 in the ./b2 line, and it compiled all right and built.  But…

When I exited the subshell and hit 2 twice (not three times) jhbuild exited.

It looks like it has the path wrong, but I’m not sure what’s up.
