Hi,
  Are you compiling from CVS, or from a release version source package?
Also, which build target did you use? If you didn't use LINUXAMD64, this
may explain some of what's happening there. Let me know exactly what
commands you ran, and I should be able to help solve your problem.

Cheers,
  John Stone
