Hm, interesting. I vaguely recall reading that discussion the first
time round. 2007... I wonder what I've been doing all this time that
I'm only *now* having problems. Maybe I only *think* I've been
upgrading :)

I'll have to spend a bit more time reading through that thread to see
what I can do.... I suppose I could move my installation to /usr, but
I'd rather not :)

It was late and I was very tired, so I'll have to try the Python stuff
again and verify whether I have the same problem with that.

Awesome :)   I can live without working bindings for now... I have an
issue with X segfaulting a lot suddenly. Out of the blue, nothing
changed (more famous last words). But that's a matter for a different
thread... ;-)
