Let's have a lengthy discussion, trying unsuccessfully to pry details about your configuration from you, so we can figure out where your typo is, so you can figure out that the configuration files are somehow connected to the matter. Then you'll google up something, break your system somehow, and summarize that you've fixed it. Sounds like a good thing to spend my time on.

Actually I think this one is simple but I don't the exact details off the top of my head. Doesn't tar cd into the top share directory and see the paths relative to that (i.e. the leading / isn't visible there) But I don't recall if you want a ./ instead or just omit the /. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
