Hamilton, Here's what ended up working: 1. I removed Write using rpm, as you indicated. 2. I downloaded Write 63 from the Sugar wiki site. 3. I restarted the machine. 4. Write 63 started like it should have.
So, I have a solution to my deployment if need be. Can someone update me on whether a new build is happening, and, if so, when? Thanks everyone.
