   It seems zeroinstall couldn't find glib.h on my system...but it's 
there in at least 2 varieties. Then it suggested I should add another
library to the linker command line and then...I decided to quit and not 
fight :) I ended up DL'ing a binary,
installed it and said "if it ain't broke don't fit it" . Too bad
more people don't know about/use Rox. It would be nice if there were
updated binaries around for Fedora 19/20 as well.
