Thanks for the testing script.  When run, BibleTime finds enough of
itself to present a tip that says "I don't know where the tips are".
Before it was a blank box.  It also finds the mods.d conf files and
presents the sword libraries I think I've installed.  Can't open
them though and still hangs when you try.

All I see in this directory is libsword.a.  I've built Sword v1.52 from the
RPM on SourceForge and even went so far as downloading v1.51a from the
CrossWire
site. {Aside... where is v1.52 from?]  I suspect I must not be building
the sword library correctly, as I'm not generating a shared object library?

When I run 'ldconfig -v' I see the sword directory reported, but
no processing of the library.

Both build and install without event, but when running the testlib binary
in the build directory fails to find any text.  Output looks like:

This was done.
