That could be -
* Mistakes in the upstream tarball for any of the almost 30 libraries
involved - submit a bug report
* Packaging mistakes in any of those libraries
* Crufty headers on the machine where the app was compiled
* The app is just broken - bug report.
* The library is just broken - bug report.
* You have old cruft on your machine.
* etc., ad infinitum.
Submit a bug report. Or wait for 1.0.
I'm sorry but it is simply not acceptable to gripe about bugs in alpha
software. Especially *free* alpha software. Reporting them is fine,
griping is not.
Even though I'm quite sure you're right that this has been broken in some
of the tarballs.
