[Ifeffit] [HELP!] Athena and Artemis doesn't start

[Carlo U. Segre]

Matt:

Perhaps you are right.  In any case, it is an issue with
incompatibilities of binaries.  I am working with him to fix this.  In
general, I am planning to set up automatic build scripts so that the build
dependencies stay up to date with changes in the distribution.  This is
not so much a problem with the Debian stable but with the bleeding edge
versions that he uses.

I am trying to get these packages into the official Debian distribution
where the automatic updates happen with no human intervention.
