This afternoon I did a reinstall at /usr/local and still am not able to get it started. No system links this time. Interestingly enough I had to create a "log" directory. Package did not include one. Easy enough. I'll try your new install recommend, but I still like to know why it won't load from /usr /local where "others" apparently have no problem.
Thanks again ! Samuel.
