Howdy,
Just grabbed the latest version from svn and compiled and installed it (as per you instructions --- with the added /trunk). All went well and quickly. Of course you do need the Developer's Tools.
Still can't seem to do anything with displayed maths. I'll have to try it with a bit more non-trival in-line maths too but I suspect that won't work either. I guess I should have expected that.
Good Luck,
Herb Schulz
