Thanks! From which directory shall I try to run it? From 
/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/qm ? Does it go automatically to 
/usr/local? And in any case, do I have a way to configure the target 
directory?

This would imply that you have a file called "configure" and another one 
called "Makefile" at the top of the tree, but I have no such files in 
the new version, I've tried to look in different directories, but had no 
luck. Where did you find it?
