I had no trouble with it on Ubunutu but since it was automatically upgraded with the upgrade to 9.10, I didn't really have to do anything. I have found e-Sword to be quite useful on my Windows machines, though as far as I know the modules are not interchangeable, which is too bad as there are some for e-Sword that are not available for SWORD.

BibleTime is very easy to install and use although there are a number of quirks and hassles. It's actually a pretty crowded market for these seat of your pants operations. The question long-term is who is going to have the resources and stamina to keep developing their product. For Bible translations in the rest of the world, the trend seems to be toward SWORD rather than e-sword. Henry, I haven’t succeeded in getting Xiphos installed yet.
