I would assert that your uber long post did not provide enough detail
(to either allow us to fix the problems you encountered or give you
suggestions to overcome the problems).

Getting stuck, okay fine, that's probably a problem with either:

	1) the software and/or 
	2) the documentation and/or 
	3) the user

but if you do not details, log files, post schematics, pcb files,
and/or all warning/error messages (which btw are there for a reason, you
shouldn't ignore them), then there is very little we can do.  Like for
instance basic information such as what OS distribution are you running?
