If you want to work on the code:
* Use git rather than a tarball as the source, even if you don't plan to 
contribute your changes back to the project, using a VCS is a good way to keep 
track of what you've done and since git is a distributed VCS you have repo in 
your working directory. No hassles with setting up a server somewhere. The 
simple way to do that is to change your .jhbuildrc-custom to build the 
"gnucash-git" module instead of "gnucash".

* Rather than re-running jhbuild build, run jhbuild shell, cd to your build 
directory, and run make && make install from there.

It appears that either something went wrong with your path or you managed to 
uninstall glib-compile-schemas. I'm sure you know how to figure that out. 
Again, jhbuild shell will duplicate the environment of jhbuild build and allow 
you to probe what happened without having to wait for the build to error out so 
that you can select "4".
