Dr H:
Downloaded the files and tried the "sudo mv" commands and it semed to move
one file but the other file didn't move and I got a "permission denied"
response from Darwin . . . . So, not knowing what happened to the other
file I re-downloaded it and ran the suggested comands from your previous
email up to and including the "fink install perl588" and it seemed to be
going well--fink found that I had two of the same file and it was busy
humming away for maybe an hour--but eventually we "failed" to install
perl588, again--and it was the same lib/locale test that failed, again but
it was only one (1) test that failed???? and ended the successful install.

====================================
Somewhere at the end or beginning there was "It's been 26 days since you ran
"fink update try to run that again and re-try the installation" but would
that really be relevant for the 10.4.11 version? I don't think it has been
26 days, but would that really matter anyway? I'm just wondering if this
perl588 is something I need to do everything, for instance if I don't need a
window manager, then I don't need sawfish, so if I don't need sawfish do I
still need perl588?
But I'm still looking for a browser that will not be so dependent on the
upgrade/update support from places that aren't supporting ppc computers. Do
I need perl588 to install "lynx" or "W3M"?? Or is there another newer very
current browser that would be able to be kept up to date even though it's on
ppc? Or, are we very close to getting the perl588 installed and I must have
perl588 in order to get further down the road with fink project anyway and I
should try "fink update" one more time?
