Excellent - that's a the ideal start.

If you ran "make install", and run sid out of the configure-time-specified
$prefix/bin directory, it should all just work.  There are a ways to work
around problems anyway.  You can set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to $prefix/lib by
hand.  You could configure sid's build tree with "--disable-shared", so no
shared libraries are built or used.

That's exactly the minor complication I was referring to earlier.  The
perl-based front-end doesn't have an option to omit the default memory
region provided for plain process emulation mode.  Until such an option
appears, yes indeed, commenting the unwanted region is the right thing.
(The minimal change may be just to comment out the "connect-bus" directive
that maps the ram/rom component into the address space.)
