Yeah, I was expecting a pretty standard copy & paste experience (same as
NetRunner), but it's a no go on mine :-(  I just recompiled and retried it.

Mine is 1.2b debug (Jun 21 2023) though - just the version from the web site.

But knowing that it's /supposed/ to work I'll spend some time digging deeper
and/or exploring the earlier version you have (which doesn't compile out of
the box on my Ubuntu 23.04 system).

Thanks for the feedback though - very much appreciated.  At least I know it's
supposed to work now :-)

Cheers,
Bob.
