I grabbed the CVS copy last week, but was unable to get it to compile, seemed to me like autogen.sh was not generating the Makefiles properly.

The 0.5 release however I have re-compiled to allow the gmdb2 gui to list the MSysObjects table.  However, when I click 'Data' button to list the data in the table, it segfaults in a memory allocation attempt while adding items to the clist array.

Let me know when you fix it, so I can try again.
