Hello my friend :)
   I'm back, and I have a new error message for you.  It will be new to
you (as far as hearing it from me, anyway), though I've seen it quite a
few times today.
   First of all I got a fresh copy of Sword from CVS, followed the
directions, and to all appearances, it installed successfully :)
   Then I grabbed a fresh copy of Bibletime from CVS, followed the
directions (in addition to the INSTALL and README directions, I did run
make -f Makefile.cvs, as I don't think that it will configure unless I
run that), and all was well until I ran the "make" command.  The WHOLE
output follows (don't get scared, the fact that the output is this
short, I believe is part of the problem): (to get this, I typed make &>
make.txt)

   The only unusual thing I did while configuring Bibletime, is that I
ran configure this way "./configure --prefix=/usr", so the presence of
"/root" in the output is inexplicable to me.
   I am going to try it one more time, this time with just "./configure"
and see what happens.  All I know, the only way I can get Sword 1.5.3
and Bibletime 1.2.1 (if that's the current stable version, can't
remember) working is to install Sword at it's default path, and install
Bibletime in /usr, because by default it wants to go to /usr/local. When
I run "./configure --prefix=/usr" to install the stable Sword/Bibletime,
everything goes without a hitch :)

Well, I'll get back to you later :)
