Beagle problem on Slackware 10.1

[Charlie Law <charlielaw luxsci net>]

I've built and installed Beagle (from CVS 31mar05) on my Slackware 10.1  
system. I think I'm getting close, but I still get this type of error  
message (see below) when I launch the Beagle daemon. Any suggestions  
would be greatly appreciated.
