Hi Ervin,

I have a couple of comments.

1. This doesn't sound like a bug report. There are other mailing lists
for user questions.

2. If you don't actually describe the exact series of steps that you
followed, the chances that anyone else is going to be able to comment
usefully are not good.

3. "it doesn't work" is the textbook example of how not to report a problem.
