The README that is displayed by the installer does explain this, but it is easy to miss. Note that the incorrect error message is a known bug in the software that creates mpkg installers. I suggest you use the binary installer because building from source is rather a lot of work, due to the need to install dependencies. -- Russell ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
