Hi Zak and Kevin,

i can confirm that the 2.2.0-beta-2 works with ubuntu 11.10 if you 
compile it from the scratch.
I just used the following commands to do so:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DQTGUI=YES -DETCDIR=/etc -DNATT=YES
cmake .
make
sudo make install

I'll try to compile and test 2.1.7 tonight.
