Oh Good!  Maybe you'll solve it before I finish fighting a different fire and
come back to work on this problem again.

The above link doesn't mention what symptoms you will see if you don't build

 I've been wondering if perhaps I need to build all of the required libs, but
it sounds like others have gotten this working without doing so.
