to suggestions on the drats-users forum and a lot of research on the net, I
have managed to get D-RATS up and running correctly on Kubuntu 11.10. Main
issues were the missing GTK and Glade development suites, numerous missing
libraries and import issues with Python. I knew my checkered past history
as a UNIX system admin would come in handy - I can configure, make and sudo make
install with the best of them now. Just wish that experience wasn't 25+ years
ago...</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
