Hi Nick - Thanks very much for that! (and apologies for my delay in 
replying - I've been having a few net problems, but all sorted out 
now.... :) 

That sounds good, I'll try that!  This was my first go at building using 
the Git snapshot, so I think I may have done something  wrong.   I'll 
just check the process - is it just -

make distclean
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
su make install
make clean
?
