Which distribution? What does

./sugar-jhbuild depscheck

say?

[RafaelOrtiz]

Hi sascha.

This is on ubuntu 8.10.

depscheck doesn't give any output..

[sascha_silbe]

How exactly are you starting Sugar? Did "./sugar-jhbuild build" finish successfully?
Can you attach the full log, please?

[RafaelOrtiz]

re building gives this (attached)

[sascha_silbe]

OK, Browse obviously can't work if hulahop is not built correctly.
Am I guessing right that you've used "./sugar-jhbuild build" and since updated xulrunner on your distro (there was a security update recently)?
In that case the following tip from the  dealing with dependencies section of the JHBuild wiki page should help:

hulahop stopped building because I had installed a more recent version of xulrunner on my machine. The workaround was to rm -rf ~/sugar-jhbuild/source/hulahop and then run update and build again.

The root cause of this problem is #137.

While trying this solution i had a problem with jhbuild itself...

This trace appears while doing sugar-jhbuild update

[sascha_silbe]

Yes, had the same error yesterday, seems like Gnome broke Jhbuild.
Not sure if I'll get around to report/fix/do a work-around before SugarCamp, sorry.

[RafaelOrtiz]

where can we report the bug to gnome ?.

[RafaelOrtiz]

If it helps there is a bug report on Gnome's bugzilla

 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582490

[RafaelOrtiz]

This is the response by the gnome people

Your jhbuild start script is too old; perhaps you have an old copy in ~/bin/
while the new one got installed in ~/.local/bin/, or you didn't run make
install.

I commited a change so it detects that situation and display an informative
message:

jhbuild: Obsolete jhbuild start script, do run 'make install'

abort on obsolete start script (GNOME #582490)
