Hi Jan
While I consider that I have installed all pre-requisites, I had been trying to build manually 
without recourse to lode, which would likely make my life far easier and would likely avoid issues 
such as the JScript error below.
I will therefore use lode and see how I get on.
Thanks
Jason

Hi.
First question, did you install using our recommendation:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/lode
and
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GetInvolved
The JScript error, can be due to a faulty/outdated external-tar, but need to be investigated 
further when you are sure you run the right versions of the programs.
it also seems /opt/lo/bin is not in your PATH. It needs to be added in front, so that it is used in 
preference to what else you have installed.
