What problems did you have? Can you post here output of compilation?

Presence modules (new versions) are really not distributed with SER -
they are still "unstable" and thus they are not mixed to the rest.

Presence handbook speaks about current presence snapshot
(ser-0.10.99-dev35-pa-4). And I'm afraid, that you can't mix together
new presence modules with old SER (use whole snapshot instead!).

There is new version of serctl in tools/serctl working correctly.

Use presence snapshot or CVS version - I recommend the snapshot, it is
described in presence handbook and there are samples of configuration.
