Well, actually, I was considering a completely different tack.  That is:
1.)	Determine what distribution we have;
2.)	use 'rpm -Uvh' to install the appropriate bibletime RPM.

Otherwise a statically linked binary would be needed; and then we'd need one 
for KDE 3 and one for KDE2.  Possibly linked to an older glibc.

Yes, the positively archaic 0.24, IIRC.  That's how I got my first exposure to 
BibleTime -- and the current version is not just head and shoulders above it, 
but waist, trunk, and thighs.

Yes, I understand.  My background prefers RPM format binaries; but that's not 
a showstopper if we can have enough room for binary tarballs for the target 
systems -- KDE3 versus KDE2 and the rest.

RPM's can easily be installed; not quite so easy to build, but easy to 
install.
