G'Day,

        Thanks for your replies: they are extremely helpful!

        The particular device I am going to use is not yet supported, but it
sounds like I should be able to add it easily enough --- at least, the
website makes it sound easy!

        I have tried to compile the 2.1.0 version available for download, but
there seems to be some problems with the tarball.  Namely, there are an
awful lot of files missing!  I cannot get configure to complete because
many of the files used by automake are missing (the ones for perl, php,
python and tcl); if I use touch to fake these (as I do not plan on
compiling them at the moment), I still cannot get it to compile because
at least one header file is missing (I say `at least' because it would
be not so quick and easy to write a placeholder file and see if I can
compile any further).

        I tried using a few different daily builds, and had other problems with
them, though I did manage to at least compile a (probably out of date)
version of owlib.  I tried downloading 2.1.0 from a different mirror
too, and still had the same problems.  Does anyone have a quick and easy
solution for this?

        Thanks,

        Matthew
