Thought I'd try to do something different and followed the directions
on the web site to check out the svn version (2075) and build it.
After various bumps and installing additional tools I made it through
the autogen.sh and make stages.  However, when building the deb
package with checkinstall I received the following error (which at
first looked successful).  It could well be me and something I don't
have on my system but I pass it along in case it's useful.
