Our 0.7.0 packages had some dependency problems. Since 0.7.0
we've altered the way our packages are created; 0.7.1 should be
out very early next week (we have sample builds on CD now, we're
just testing before we put out new RPM and DEBs). If you want
a current version, you should be able to grab the source via
CVS and do "make" and then "make install". Of course, this will
require the development versions of the same libraries which
you didn't have when you tried to install the package. :)

When 0.7.1 hits, we'll have web content explaining where to get
the packages you'll need. Are you using Red Hat Linux 5 or
6?
