yes, if quicktest is broken then that is bad :-)

You should first check though if it's just broken build
dependecies. Try to re-run the ./autogen.sh and ./configure steps,
then try "make clean; make" and see if that solves it. If that does
help then it just means our internal build dependecies are broken
(which is very common).

If it's still broken then you can try and debug it, or you could post
logs of the errors and we can try to give you some tips. I suspect
you'll find that it is just build dependecies though.

Cheers, Tridge
