Latest?

If you're working off the development version, I think you should
expect to behave like a developer and at least follow the maintainers'
list. We break things all the time in the development version. If you
are not willing to handle the frustatration of this breakage, work off
the released tarballs instead.

Hey Jordi,

My bad... I wasn't aware that things are changing that (!!) fast on the devel branch... :-)

Anyway, I'm ok with that, but I'll keep your suggestion of using the released tarballs in mind. Btw, er, where are they? :-)

Cheers,

Danilo
