This has been mentioned before, but I can't reproduce it here.  I'm
running the latest svn as of today, so it couldn't hurt to try it.
There have been some patches committed by Charles just this week,
but I don't know if they would fix the problem you describe.

Pan2 is really easy to build *if* your machine is all set up to do
software development, but the default ubuntu install includes none
of the needed tools -- you'll need to install them yourself.
