This is absolute nonsense.  You may not think that has not happened 
to any else but you are wrong.  After I posted the post, I got emails 
from others that said they had the same problem.

Further, you admitted in one of your posts to John that it was 
confusing.

Again, (***AGAIN***) you really need to read what I wrote.  I said IT 
WORKS (I did not say it did not work in my IDE).  The IDE works fine. 
 It is from the BASH COMMAND LINE THAT IT DOES NOT WORK!!!!!  

After the "error in the instructions" was corrected, it downloaded 
correctly.  MY IDE WORKS.  The BASH command produces the error.

You are so defensive that you don't even read the details of what 
people write.  That is a main source of problems.

That is true.  And you cannot make it user-friendly either, 
apparently.

I have been reading this news list for 2 years and I see this 
continual attitude of resenting helping those that request help.  
Even when it is shown to be a problem in the instructions, you call 
people "idiots" and "stupid."

Bottom line:  
*** The instructions were followed and 
*** nothing that I did was against the instruction AND
*** even you and John admitted that I did nothing that against the 
written instructions.  

How on earth that can be translated to "being an idiot" is beyond me.

Please disregard any future requests for assistance.  Hopefully, 
others that have had problems installing this toolset, will not have 
the chip on their shoulder that you seem to have.

Have a nice day!
