Well, I had a look at the readme, which says:
If you're using ROX-Filer, you should just be able to start the AppDir
by double-clicking it, and AlgoScore will try to compile itself if no
binary existed already.

As it happens, ROX-Filer is my favorite file manager, and so I tried it.
It built and ran without a hitch. I don't know how to use it yet, but it
definitely runs.

This leads me to believe that the program isn't broken as such, but
something is wrong with the build/install.
