have you run Tools/Scripts/update-webkitgtk-libs as stated here: http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingGtk#Dependencies ?

Actually I was interested in checking new features of epiphany 3.7.3.

update-webkitgtk-libs is not present in ~/checkout/gnome/webkitgtk-1.11.4/Tools/Scripts
The webkitgtk01.11.4 folder was downloaded and extracted by jhbuild.

This problem occurs only when I use following command:
$jhbuild build WebKit

But when I compile outside jhbuild using configure, make and then make install, it works:

I set the path for ld and pkg_config:
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/faisal/opt/gnome/lib64
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/faisal/opt/gnome/lib64/pkgconfig

verfied it by:
$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

changed the directory to webkit folder which was downloaded and extracted by jhbuild.
$ cd ~/checkout/gnome/webkitgtk-1.11.4

configured with same options as used by jhbuild (from config.log):
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome --libdir=/opt/gnome/lib64 --enable-introspection --disable-silent-rules --with-gstreamer=1.0 --disable-static --disable-gtk-doc

then make:
$ make
$ make install
