Simon, Thanks for the tip. I kept digging through old messages and found another person who had a similar problem. your advice was to:
sudo rm /usr/local/lib sudo mv '/usr/local/lib 1' /usr/local/lib Now everything installed properly, including tcl/ck, etc. Thanks for the tip, and I hope this helps someone else. Now if I could just get Rgrphviz to work! -Brendan Casey p.s. I will keep my eye out for those horribly rude and superfluous flags. How dare they!?
