I followed the directions (which is tricky since they keep on branching) and was then able to install xfig and it runs beautifully. That was going from a 2006 version to 2013. By the way, in your instructions you give a command that wipes out the /sw directory. Instead of doing that, I moved it to /tmp (using sudo). That way I could go back to the old version since it did have a running version of xfig. The version in /tmp didn't interfere and next time I reboot the files will go away. I recommend changing your instructions to mv instead of rm. In general I don't delete files, I just throw them in /tmp for safety. THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR RAPID RESPONSE!!! Regards, Tom Thomas D.
