Hi Thomas,

Looks like I forgot to hit reply all, sorry for the double message that 
you'll receive!
Thanks for your response.  Unfortunately I cannot access my development 
PC at home (from work) due to a power outage in my area.  Power has been 
restored up but I have no one to power my machine on for ssh access
Upon returning home from work at 5 EST I will continue to investigate 
based on your input and answer your questions more completely.
For now I can say the errors shown above match the situation on both 
computers.
All I am doing is running jhbuild with a default configuration (gcc 
4.8.3).  When I reached the NM module it failed to build with the 
specified errors on both computers.  The error appears to occur during 
the make as you said.  My ./configure line is equivalent to whatever is 
in the default Makefile generated by jhbuild.
On Ubuntu, I receive the ImportError: cannot import name NetworkManager 
error, I'll see what effect installing NetworkManager-glib has on it.
On Arch, I'm receiving the error you're showing following installation 
of NetworkManager-glib:
AttributeError: 'gi.repository.NetworkManager' object has no attribute 
'SettingDcb'
make[4]: *** [nm-setting-docs.xml] Error 1

Although I don't recall specifically installing NetworkManager-glib.


I will investigate further and post my full build log upon returning 
home, as well as attempt and share the effect of the workarounds you 
suggested.
Thanks,
Chris
