Thank you for your comments, points taken. I am running Suse 10.2 64bit on an AMD Turion based Acer. I installed via Yast Software Management module and did NOT instruct it to force install in the face of dependency issues. My analysis indicates that this has to do with Python not liking the character encoding of this European authored program, specifically the use of an umlaut. Python.org mentions this issue but I am not clear on the solution. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
