Bob,

if you read the README a bit further there are some instructions for
testing.

Confirm that the build has been successful:
Create a directory for the log files:
$ mkdir -p $VICI/logs
$ make check

Its quite spectacular to watch some of the GUI's running by themselves -
but it does grab the mouse which can be inconvenient if you want to do
something else.
