Yes, upgrading works. But I want to confirm if this is an issue just with me or a global issue, which means it would be good if someone else can reproduce this issue. Or was the intended version 2.5 instead of 2.4?

It happened to Linkesh too, I think it need to be updated in the INSTALL document.

OK, I will make the change. PS: Leave your signature out of comments(if you're doing a reply to email thing).

Awesome guys! Varrun, thanks for the detail! I mentioned you guys in my 120 second pitch yesterday!
