I've got a fresh Ubuntu build and I'm going to give these instructions a
whirl.  I'll let you know how it goes.

Are the sugar-jhbuild commands supposed to be executed as root or as a
regular user?

Also, do your instructions here supersede these instructions:

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_with_sugar-jhbuild

and these?

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_on_Ubuntu_Linux

Or do they supersede them depending on how my install goes, perhaps?  :)

Thanks,

Mike

These are up to date. So you should follow these. (I made some changes
to the process after my mail to the list)

Thanks.  I've already started with just the sanitycheck, but I see that
that's part of the regular build...

local copy of automake....
