I tried compiling and running surfer, with the same results (only a "!"). I think that's because it never even tried to compile surf, so when surfer tried to run surf it failed. When I tried to compile surf from the surfer source distribution, the compilation failed; installing the experimental spkg also failed. I didn't look into either failure further. Certainly the pictures in the surfer gallery looked very nice; I hope somebody fixes up the experimental spkg, so that lazy people like me can play with it :) (I do note that surf can only show algebraic surfaces -- you can't have any trig in your equations, for example.)
