Except for the '~' characters this looks right - I guess you based this
on the canon-digital-ixus-v.fdi file, right?

Yeah, lot's of people seem to have this problem and this is frustrating
since it has always worked for me. 

In fact I saw Joe Shaw having this problem at GUADEC when I sat next to
him and he found that doing an autogen.sh on the sources then make and
'make install' solved it. Please see if this helps, otherwise I'll
instrument the sources with some debug information.

Many thanks,
