The problem is, Harald, that my distro (Opensuse 12.2 appers to have too
modern a lua and some other packages and your tools reject them as being
the 'wrong version'.
Thus the 'simple' tool also doesn't work.
Now I tried to install older software versions and ran quickly into
dependency problems. I know I could fix this, but I don't have the time
at the moment, I'm afraid.
I have a tool chain on a Debian Linux6.0.6 (which does run 'out of the
box', running in VirtualBox, which was fast to get running and meets my
needs for now.
My comment was meant as helpful, because I think that some may lose
interest if the tools don't work out of the box, or easily fixed (as
Windows users expect, but there are also very many Linux users with a
similar mindset).
Anyway, my problem is fixed for now.
Bob.
