Mark,

Version 2.2.2 did have a problem with the automake(1)-based build and the 
CMake-based installation of the previous release of version 2.2.4 didn't 
install file "converter.h".

The latest release of version 2.2.4 should have both these problems fixed.

I want to thank you for being such a good tester of version 2.2, which uses a 
new continuous-delivery pipeline. I'm sure you didn't want this dubious honor, 
but your sacrifices have helped ensure a better product for all who come after 
you.
