Scribes bzr build problems?

I am pretty new to digging in to PKGBUILD's but I am running into a problem. I am trying to build the development version of scribes and here is what I have.

The website for scribes says this is the build process:

bzr branch lp:scribes
cd scribes
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

Here is my PKGBUILD:

pkgname=bzr-scribes
pkgver=20090424
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Development version of scribes."
arch=('x86_64')
url=('http://scribes.sf.net/bzr/scribes-dev')
license=('GPL')
depends=('bzr')
source=()
md5sums=()

build() {
    msg "Connecting to the server...."

    bzr branch lp:scribes

    cd $startdir/src/scribes/
    ./autogen.sh
    make PREFIX=/usr DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install || return 1
}

and here is the last few lines of the error that I am getting:

Checking for Pygobject... yes
Checking for GTK... yes
Checking for PyGTK... yes
Checking for GNOME Python... yes
Error: gnome-python-desktop was not found.
configure: error: Error: Dependency check failed
make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
    Aborting...

I checked and I do have gnome-python-desktop installed:

$ pacman -Q gnome-python-desktop
gnome-python-desktop 2.26.0-1

Not sure where to go here. andy help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Strange. Try again, your PKGBUILD succeeds for me at the second try. I had to download the sorces manually, though.

Weird I have tried a few times, maybe I will try downloading the sources manually and see if that works when I get home from work. I will report back.

Thanks

[EDIT]
I forgot to ask I think I have this line wrong in the PKGBUILD --> url=('http://scribes.sf.net/bzr/scribes-dev') <-- would that be causing me problems?

No, that is only for convinience - it is good to have a homepage to know where the software comes from. The download is done with

bzr branch lp:scribes

I still can't get it to work. I tried manually downloading it also, but it still error's out at the same spot?

Check the config.log to get the actual error message.
