Probably you have the cairo and pango libraries installed, but you don't have
the
headers. In most operating systems you have to install what they call the
"development" versions. Eg: apt-get install libpango1.0-dev

other respects (e.g. the file requester seems very strange compared to
others e.g. not displaying certain files when I know they're in the right
folder)
I recall that some time ago there was a problem in Harry's windows binary (if
that's
what you're installing) where it ignored the mimetypes. Maybe that's what
you're
seeing. But I think he fixed it in his 0.7.9 offering, so I suggest you try
that.
* the default Linux version is 0.6.2 which is old and doesn't have much of
the functionality I need.
This is true. You can try an alpha version available from ftp://alpha.gnu.org
which has a lot more functionality, but ... it's alpha. Caveat Emptor!
* the tarball binary version seems to produce executables which don't do
anything
I'm not sure to which tarball or which executables you are refering.
