I actually noticed that a couple weeks ago too while trying to make an rpm,
and submitted a bug report to the author. We figured out that the problem
was that I had a really old gtk installed, and also his ./configure script
looked for the wrong files to decide if I have gnome or not. I believe he is
resolving the problem, and it should be ready in time for .13 or .14.

I'm glad to see that people are taking an interest in packaging educational
apps for Debian. If any of the other apps on the seul-edu site look
worthwhile, feel free to grab and package them.
