Thanks for the advice Arno,
I downloaded them and installed them.
No change.
Same errors.
In fact, I tried Richard's way too, and got a segmentation fault when it
tried to guess what machine I was using, and went no further.
One thing that I also noted, with pkgtool, I get errors during install when
it claims to not be able to run chmod etc... because it doesn't have root
permission... though it runs the /install/install.sh script from what I can
make out as the utils and configs get installed, and the install directory
is removed afterwards.
I WILL get the hang of this Linux stuff one day!
