If you're stuck or if you get strange errors, feel free to ask for help on the [[Sugar_Labs/Contacts#irc.freenode.net_channels|#sugar IRC channel]] or the [[Sugar_Labs/Contacts#Developer_Lists|sugar-devel mailing list]]. Don't waste too much time chasing strange problems: usually it's caused by some basic, easy to fix problem. You might also want to check the [http://dev.sugarlabs.org/query?status=accepted&status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&component=sugar-jhbuild bug tracker] to see if it's a known issue.

~~:Q:~~

~~::<dgd> jhbuild build on fedora11 requires 29 packages but on Ubuntu904 38... should I be concerned with the difference in number?~~

~~:A:~~

~~::<sdziallas> dgd: this can be caused by different packaging policies...~~

~~::<dgd> sdziallas, ergo not a reason for concern, thanks!~~

~~definitely do not compile as root with jhbuild -- you'll run into funky problems -- Colin A. :)~~
