Can anyone confirm, or did I go on one of those famous wild goose chases?

I downloaded the openscam deb but at least one of my libraries was too old so that took a long walk off a short pier but left all sorts of trash laying around when dpkg jumped out the side window after installing the objects. That will take a while to clean up I imagine. So I grabbed the tarball (this is the openscam_0.0.5 tarball) and built it, but while it runs to start and stop, it is still not finding all its deps. So it goes quietly nuts w/o crashing and doesn't show anything except the green direction arrow in the file menu reversing itself faster than the screen refresh rate. The display window remains blank. The errors from the cli are: gene@shop:~/src/openscam_0.0.5$ ./openscam (openscam:11706): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find signal handler 'on_render_resolution_changed' 03:54:31:INFO(1):Bounds: ((-inf,-inf,-inf), (inf,inf,inf)) 03:54:31:INFO(1):Dimensions: (inf,inf,inf) 03:54:59:INFO(1):Opening project /home/gene/linuxcnc/nc_files/genes- encoder.ngc 03:54:59:ERROR:Exception: Parse failed: 2: syntax error 03:54:59:ERROR: At: /home/gene/linuxcnc/nc_files/genes- encoder.ngc:1:0 03:56:43:INFO(1):Exiting gene@shop:~/src/openscam_0.0.5$ The build scripts contain no install instructions and there are only 2 very sparse README's in it. I think the real error is the first one above. Missing tool file?, damifIknow. Thanks Sebastian K.
