Let me also add what I've tried. You can see my buildlogs at:

	http://dag.wieers.com/packages/dia/_buildlogs/

The FAQ says I'm running dia but I didn't install it properly, the log 
will show you otherwise. The FAQ also says to look into run_dia.sh, but 
the script is not shipped with dia 0.92. So I found it in older releases 
and set the different variables as the script does:

	[root@lisse SPECS]# export DIA_LIB_PATH="/usr/lib/dia/:/usr/share/dia/"
	[root@lisse SPECS]# export DIA_PLUGIN_PATH="/usr/lib/dia/:/usr/share/dia/"
	[root@lisse SPECS]# export DIA_SHAPE_PATH="/usr/lib/dia/shapes/"
	[root@lisse SPECS]# export DIA_INT_SHAPE_PATH="/usr/lib/dia/shapes/"
	[root@lisse SPECS]# export DIA_SHEET_PATH="/usr/lib/dia/sheets/"
	[root@lisse SPECS]# dia
	warning: failed to load external entity "NULL"
	Couldn't find standard objects when looking for object-libs, exiting...

But none of this actually works.
