I think what you need is similar to the xml file found in the
bin/Regions directory. There is some info about this on the web[1].

What were the compile errors? The Second Life viewer can show a console
with the errors. I have to click on a little "warning" sign either on
the object with the failed script or in the top menu bar.

There are some functions which are not yet implemented. Those are the
functions that raise NotImplementedException in
LSL_BuiltIn_Commands.cs[2].

Every time you want to use deepgrid you need to start the Second Life
viewer with that parameter.

Hope that helps,
Mike
