Allan,
Cheops has been superceded by Cheops-ng, which I think you can find
at freshmeat or sourceforge.
I was using the older Cheops because the new one has some extra library
dependencies that I didn't want to put into my little distro.
...um, it is the gnome-libs and xml1 (I don't use Gnome and use xml2).

Regards,
Barry Kauler
