Yeah, I was expecting a pretty standard copy & paste experience (same as NetRunner), but it's a no go on mine :-( I just recompiled and retried it.

Mine is 1.2b debug (Jun 21 2023) though - just the version from the web site.
But knowing that it's /supposed/ to work I'll spend some time digging deeper and/or exploring the earlier version you have (which doesn't compile out of the box on my Ubuntu 23.04 system).
Thanks for the feedback though - very much appreciated. At least I know it's supposed to work now :-)
