The provisional package I uploaded to my directory on master doesn't work :-/.
Turns out there is a bug in the configure script that was exposed by building a Debian package. The upstream maintainer has promised to fix it after he returns from vacation April 3. If you really want to use it before then, you should create a symbolic link of ln -s /usr/share/mpdist /usr/local/lib/mp Once the upstream sources have been fixed I will recreate the package.
