I've tried to install this on Arch Linux with the latest version, but I get stuck at the loading screen as others have reported. I would have sent you an email, but I was not able to find your email address. I would be happy to help figure out why it does not work.
I have written a simple PKGBUILD file for installing this on Arch, and I am happy to share that (or upload it to Arch AUR) when I get it to work.
