I went here http://untroubled.org/bglibs/ and downloaded the source, ran
'make' && 'make install'. The binary bg-installer that is created after
'make' just hangs when run alone. I would just go ahead and run 'make
install' as instructed on the main site and not worry about the
bg-installer. Perhaps bg-installer gets called when you run 'make install'.
