Odd minor version numbers (such as the 1.5 tree) indicate the 
development branch.  In the development branch, we are free to make 
radical changes to the API and there is no guarantee that software 
written for one version will compile under the next.

Very few programs written for Sword 1.5.5 would work with 1.5.6.  If 
GnomeSWORD has been updated, you can use their CVS to compile against 
Sword 1.5.6.
