I recompiled after some initial difficulty. There was an error where the
"aclocal" directory appeared to have been hard-coded
as /opt/gnome/share/aclocal, when mine is /usr/share/aclocal. I'm too
tired to mess with autotools, so I just created a soft link and
compilation ran successfully to completion. 

I reindexed, but continue to have difficulty getting any metadata to
show up in Hum's search results. 

Any ideas? User error?
