well, if its not a user error, I'd need to pester you for a lot more
info to correct it ...

sort of. There is in 1.4, but its fallen into disrepair for 1.6.  
Some of the engine api's changed.  Also, the repair tool is in perl, 
and you have to go through a few extra steps to create the perl module
to the engine that would allow you use it.  (you need to build from
scratch, and run swig.  I don't know, its possible that the Makefiles
to automatically run swig have fallen into disrepair as well ...)
