First three commands correct .
The reason for the make clean , was to attempt to rebuild the complete 
repository against corrected libraries , opennss* and kerberos , some of 
which did not have the correct dependencies some miss-configured , other 
faults were due to a lack of Dbus ( I am running a BlueWhite64 linux 11) 
(Dbus faults) which I could not find in my log files during python and 
glib construction , are those visible anywhere ? (I was building in a vi 
terminal , with 'make install' in 'desktop' )have not got round to 
correcting yet (Dbus).
   I can tell it's a "build environment" , how do I reset the build 
environment  to  square one , as if I had just downloaded the  tarball  ?
 Is there some simpler arrangement to attain this end ?
 If my questions are to prosaic please feel free to say so and I 'll
just listen to other peoples problems .
