I've tried following these instructions when you mentioned them. Unfortunately I got stuck at autogen'erating (a lot of missing prerequisites). But I got my original worries fixed! Apparently my biggest mistake following the HOWTO instructions was using the rxvt terminal emulator. If I use the cmd window, my original problems disappear.
