You are not going crazy, I went through the same thing. There are 2 things to 
fix. I don't have my Linux up right now, so I'm going by memory. They were 
pretty easy. The first problem was a structure defined in the Library had a 
different element name than the LineMode browser. It was pretty self 
explanatory. Just look up that structure and change the LineMode source to the 
correct element. It was ParentAnchor or something like that... The second 
problem was a function call had an extra parameter in the Library, but the 
function that the LineMode browser was calling didn't have this parameter. I 
just added an extra parameter in the LineMode source, I think I passed a 0 or 
an 80...  

Sorry for such sketchy instructions. Send me personal mail if you want more 
detailed instructions or the fixed source.
