[sword-devel] cbible

[Tim Hawes]

I am sorry to hear that, Peter. Can you send me the output of your 
compile? Is Debian-Testing using 1.7x of Sword? If so, that would be one 
reason why it does not compile. I thought about writing it for the 
latest Sword, but decided to stick with stock libs on Ubuntu LTS, so it 
is being developed on 1.6. I'll add that tidbit of info in my repo's 
README.
