Thanks for the feedback.  We will try to fix the issues on the latest
Ubuntu build (Alex can you take a look at that?).  I agree on the
dependencies being hard to get right, sometimes almost impossible.
Regrettably the user interface was implemented with Ogre+Cegui having
problems in many distributions. Hopefully some time in the future I will
have time to write a more usable and easier to install UI, but now I am
too busy.  As for the user interface thing, the program is in general
running quite fast, but it requires an accelerated graphics card for the
3D stuff which might be your bottleneck -- once again this is something
that would be solved with the UI rewrite.

Cheers!
