I followed each step explicitly, but this was under -current and not -stable, so I wonder if that had something to do with it. Various things feel over left and right, and when I installed everything carefully by hand (after reading their installation script to see what it would have done), I got apps that ran but complained mightily about missing fonts and such (which were installed, and I set their little environment variables up to point to them as per instructions). I then composed a detailed log of my experiences, send them to the bug reporting address and never got anything back. Jordan
