I figured it out, or how to avoid it anyway (I don't know whether it 
would still make sense to address the Bus Error).  This message from 
last year tipped me off:

http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg29106.html

Based on that message, I thought that maybe some environment variable 
was missing given that I had just installed/upgraded a ton of packages, 
and so I ran ". /sw/bin/init.sh".  The programs I listed before ran 
successfully from that terminal then and in new terminals as well.  I 
assume all will be well after my next reboot.

Thanks,
