Indeed. I would like to aplogize for that it was made as an issue to the list.

You know, if I had read, firstly the INSTALL file, rather than relying on 
Google to find the source repository, then I should have fetched the correct 
batch of sources, originally.

N.B, if the 'start' module is what should be checked-out on ESA, then perhaps 
that may be mentioned in the INSTALL file.

Thank you. I should be glad to have known so, when endeavoring to learn  of 
the CLIM standard.
