YMMV with the installer.sh script. It worked for me when I first coded it 
but after that I've had problems so it may be a bit broken. Anyways, 
here's what I see from the output:

These warnings are ok, but I'm working on removing them as they also 
appear with Sun compiler.

This error shows that your libxffm is out of date. You should be able to 
get the newest version installed with ./installer.sh LIBS command.
Once you get this version installed, plugins and executables will refuse 
to load if there are inconsistent headers.

I believe the failure to stop on errors is where the scripts may be 
broken.
