Installing metacard on linux - cmd line or?

[RM]

I tried to"upgrade" MetaCard 2.5 using Jacque's stack: 
http://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/590/MetaCard-Setup-2-02

and LiveCode 7.1, and ended up with an odd, icon-less "thing" that 
didn't get any further than that.

Quite honestly I cannot see any obvious advantages using the MetaCard 
GUI rather than the LiveCode one: it
looks a bit masochistic frankly.
