Yep - the "symlink" is the problem - I copied it - I didn't link it. The plugin must use it's directory to find other bits and pieces and of course with a copy, it will not find everything it needs. Oh well - next time I'll follow instructions EXACTLY :-) Works now. Thanks all for the help. -- -Cheers -Andrew MS ... if only he hadn't been hang gliding!
