This occurs because you didn't uninstall the last version before
installing this one, so when blackbox tries to create some
symlinks for locales it fails because they aready exist. Other
platforms don't seem to have this problem -- I guess their 'ln'
isn't quite as picky.
Anyway, just cd /usr/local/share/Blackbox/nls, remove the existing
symlinks, and run make install again. It should hopefully go
through without a hitch.
