It would be nice if you had an RPM compiled package for Linux, for the 
Fedora/Suse/Mandriva distros (mine being Mandriva).  Or at least a 
generic *.tar.gz compiled package.
Many on non-Debian/Ubuntu Linux don't have the skills or inclination to 
compile from source.
(Especially on more user-friendly distros like Mandriva.)

I've downloaded the scratch_1.4.0.1.tar.gz source package from the Linux 
page.
It doesn't seem to include compile instructions.
(I would have expected that documented in a readme file.)
Please let me know if I should use something other than "make".

By the way, I notice that there are 2 translations files for french, 
fr.po and and fr_CA.po.
On reviewing the files, I see that none of the phrases to be translated 
touch the few differences between France and Canada (which are primarily 
accent).
(The best online reference for french technical terms is based in Canada.)
For most of the differences between the 2 files, one (if not both) are 
clearly in error; the others generally depend on the context (which can 
only be determined by running the software).
I would like to correct the translations (producing identical files), 
after compiling the program and verifying the contexts.
Also I would be interested in translating the help files (into french).

Again, please let me know if I should use something other than "make" to 
compile scratch.
