Is it possible that this also introduced a bug with compiling?

I've completely deleted the pan source directory and re-downloaded CVS,
I've done make clean, make distclean, tried it with and without gtkspell
enabled in the config, and went back to make sure that I have all the
required libraries and development packages installed, so if there's
something wrong with my machine, I don't have a clue what it is.  :)

Ahh, ok...that makes sense.  However, might it also make sense to
default it to ~/.pan/data, and then put a line in the Scoring tab of the
preferences saying something along the lines of, "If you wish to use an
existing slrn score file, please put its location here"?
