gps-1.4.0-academic issue

I have downloaded and installed gps-1.4.0.academic-x86-windows and
installed it onto my home desktop machine. When I start gps.exe, I
first get a dialog "created config directory c:\.gps", then the splash
screen splashes.

And that's the end of it. There it sits until I salute ctrl-alt-del.

This machine is running Windows 98, and there is a gtkada-1.3.12/bin
on my path. And the gps does seem to have lots of good stuff,
including documentation that does not address this issue - so I
hypothesize it is correctly installed.

I also performed an install on my laptop, which runs Window XP, and
GPS starts up much more normally (subject to a more thorough
inspection).

So should I expect to have trouble running under '98? Or is there
some step have missed?

Thx
John
