[Gm2] gm2 failure under ubuntu 13.10

[rob solomon]

I did a network upgrade of a computer going from ubuntu-64 13.04 to 
ubuntu-64 13.10.  Since gm2 was installed, that was still present.

But it fails.

And on a related point, I have reported quite a few problems here.

A response as to whether these will be addressed or not would be very 
helpful.
