That got it to install. I changed it from editor to readline. Although it installed, it still didn't work without lots of fiddling. The README files told about some of it, but still, I had to change some permissions in ways other than what was documented. I did enough fiddling that I am not sure what I did and what was really necessary. I don't know why to took so much fiddling. Maybe there is too much cruft on the machine. Maybe I missed something. Maybe I messed up something a while back, and fiddled to work around it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
