->  DB> I've done the "./configure" and "make" but it's beyond that's giving

   ->         I am having the very same issue, running a Ubuntu VM with MBSE    
   1.06.     
        
   Because you need to log out of your account, log in as the mbse user,    
   copy the source tarball over, unpack and run the install at the mbse    
   user.  I've got documentation that I've written on how to install MBSE    
   on Debian-based installs that works out quite well around here    
   somewhere.
