I have not downloaded the sword library.  I will do this.  Thank you.

I did try to run autogen.sh.  But it did not work... I cannot remember 
the exact error messages (I will not be able to get back to my 
development computer for a couple of days).   But the errors were 
something like error on line 9 or 8 or something.  I did send the errors 
to  info at bibletime.info  if any body has access to that email.
(Sorry for my disorganization, I am away from my main computer.)

Anyway, I will get these and post them if I continue to have trouble.
