No reply within specified time

[Haran Shivanan]

After building the latest code from cvs I get a "No reply within
specified time" error 
This is at the library level because I get the same error from the mono
example, the python example and the test cases.
Any idea why this is?
(Incidentally, I built the code by copying the configure script from
dbus-0.31.tar.gz to the cvs directory since autogen.sh seems to be
screwing up on my system)

Mono:
Unhandled Exception: DBus.DBusException: No reply within specified time
in <0x000bb> DBus.Bus:GetBus (DBus.Bus/BusType)
in <0x0000f> DBus.Bus:GetSessionBus ()
in <0x00020> Foo.EchoServer:Main (string[])


Python:
