It is my understanding that I followed your suggestion of using the
"desktop" path for those files to run the install, which fink found, and
again the install failed as I described and illustrated with the pastes of
the failure. At this point it doesn't matter to me where the files are, the
goal would be to simply install perl588 and move on to whatever, sawfish,
w3m . . . something that will be usable???
