Can't compile on OpenSuse10.2 due to dependency on sigc++-1.2.  I now have the package libsigc++12 installed but getting it all to work is too difficult for a naive user who just wants to use the program... It works fine on Windows, shame.

We can't possibly support all Linux distributions... 

You may need to install the libsigc++ devel packages. And you need sigc++ 2.0,

Alternatively:

I have both the above installed but it still asks for sigc++-1.2.  It was bad luck that this was the first Linux app I tried to install. But this isn't the place for a general rant about the frustrations if Linux.  Others have also complained about its number of dependencies and difficulty of installation.
