He didn't say otherwise, Josh. He *complimented* the developers, which I tend to think is a great attitude. :) <br>
Installation issues - particularly with this problem - are not an unusual complaint in the least - it's a pain to install, plain and simple. The dependencies ought to be bundled together to make this a one, two, three process. If it's the case that LibLime doesn't want to make for an easy installation for financial interests, that's fine. But Fedora is not a strange distro in the least, nor is the complaint that it's too hard to install far afield.<br>
