Description Murray Cumming 2013-09-13 07:57:20 UTC 
This page
  https://developer.gnome.org/jhbuild/unstable/jhbuild.html#getting-started
tells us to do this:
  echo PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin >> ~/.bashrc

But, at least here on Ubuntu, that $PATH is expanded, so the whole raw list of directories is added to .bashrc rather than just that short line mentioning $PATH.

For some reason (maybe because it's too long?) that prevents jhbuild from adding $HOME/.local/bin to $PATH, which is essential.
