i applied the src/algebra/Makefile patch that changes every
\$ to $ and i am kicking off a test build now. i'll let you
know if it works.

i'm grabbing an iso image of kubuntu from 
http://www.kubuntu.org/download.php

i'll try to install it on one of my boxes but not tonight.
i'm due to leave for work in 3 hours and i think i should
consider trying to sleep :-)
