I assumed that this indicated that for some reason libsword.so was not
downloaded in the last CVS.  I updated the sword CVS, recompiled with the
Makefile.cvs set to generate the shared libraries, and it works. or anyway as
far as telling me I need to reinstall the modules.  I expected this.

I did not - link sworddir/lib/libsword.so to /usr/local/lib/libsword.so -
instead I added the path to libsword.so,  /usr/local/sword/lib  to
/etc/ld.so.conf
