i'd love to be -- but not until i know what's going on :)

okay.

i've been trying to compile and install, and it appears to have
worked.  I'm curious as to why 20 out of 20 tests fail in `make test`
(on both 0.92, which i tried half an hour ago, and 0.94):

make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 1


this doesn't appear to have affected installation, but are these going
to bite me in the ass later, when I try to use them?

thanks again,
