Installed libtool and compiled...

Clean compile, and install.

Signal 2: exiting

(Battery not 100% as I applied a quick test to check it reported on/ 
offline)

Certainly a lot happier I think, and now the logs are no longer  
filling up with connect/disconnect issues or reports of stale data.

Thanks for all your help on this (on and off list) - it is very much  
appreciated.

Regards
