OK, please do this:

mkdir ~/testfordirk
cd ~/testfordirk
git clone -b v4.4-branch git://subsurface-divelog.org/subsurface.git
./subsurface/scripts/build.sh

now wait. possibly a while as it builds quite a few things

if it fails, capture the bug and send it to us

if it doesn't (YAY!) you can run Subsurface like this:

./subsurface/scripts/run.sh


Hopefully this will be a step in the right direction.

Thanks
