Dear Michael. Thanks for the support. I'm going to try and build from source. By the way I'm quite new into linux and haven't ever done such a thing, but as in swimming or in mountain climbing for everyone someday the day has come to do the thing on your own. So I have to face the fact that tonight (it's 1:30 am in Germany) is the night.
Thanks. Yours, littlemathteacher.
