Error when building gnome-shell with jhbuild

[Alexandre Kaspar <alexandre kaspar epfl ch>]

Hi everyone,

I've been trying gnome-shell by building it with jhbuild for a while (I
always come back to gnome2 because of the unstability of the shell) and
it worked with several missing dependencies to add during the build.

Right now, I'm on Fedora 14 :
--------------------------
xion@ix ~$ uname -a
Linux ix 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.i686.PAE #1 SMP Mon Feb 7 06:57:55 UTC 2011
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
--------------------------

... and I'm stuck on one phase (gnome-shell in fact).

--------------------------
...
...

------------------------

I don't really know what to do.
Is it some trouble in the current source code which isn't compilable ?
Why make it available if we cannot compile it ?

A more detail output is on http://pastebin.com/XdjHfr1r

Thanks for your help
