There is no need to use su - you can install jhbuild in your home
directory and it will run everything fine from there, without changing
the versions of your system's packages. I'm not sure if doing
sugar-jhbuild as root (su) is even recommended at all, since I believe
the intent of the system was to allow you to download, build, and run
Sugar without disrupting your computer's operating environment.
