    I'm not quite sure what this means, but I get a domain not found error
for repo.or.cz either trying to use the URI or 0launch it!

    However, I have been pressing on in slow time with the installation
and found a few more oddities -

    a.   Lithium gets a 404 error from www.hayber.us - and from a mirror.

    b.   Pager gets a C-Lib not found error (from libdir ??) whereas
    'whereis' finds it. However a further error shows up requiring
    libglitz. Should this be a dependency? Is this the reason C-Lib is not
    found?

    c.   0launch-gui/compile is also using the deprecated (by Python 2.6)
    popen2 module.

    d.   When attempting to run System there is a python backtrace
    indicating an attempt at "double free or corruption (!prev):
    0x08391838 ***" which is glibc detected. I don't know whether this is
    related to any of the above or to Python 2.6 itself or whether I
    should contact Stephen directly.

    Sorry about these oddities, but I thought you might like to know of
them.

              Regards,

                        Keith
