Not necessarily. I guess that the file created by `gperf` is part of the tarball. However, you are installing directly from the git repository. In most cases this means that you have to install more stuff to compile everything. Normally, there is a `README.git` file or something similar that describes the additional steps necessary to compile from the repository. If this is missing you should complain :-) Werner
