Hi, guys, Thanks for the help. Yes, the instructions in the readme file were specific about dependencies and versions and such. I'm sure I followed them, but I'll double-check. There were a couple of versions of dependencies that I couldn't find in the given links, so I googled them. This is probably where the hitch came in. I'm used to playing with Linux distros and paying attention to such things, so I tried to be careful.
