empty game list on gxmame

Yesterday, I installed gxmame version 0.34 on my Ubuntu box, which I downloaded from the gxmame's site at SourceForge.net. I started the front-end but for some reason the game list was empty, while the directories were perfectly fine. As I discovered later, version 0.34 is not the latest one, and it has a bug that causes this empty list problem. Version 0.35 fixes the bug, and you can get it from here. It seems that they uploaded the new version but forgot to update the links. Download and install the package and make sure to Rebuild Game List.
