Sounds like it. It is Apple's policy to keep their hands out of /usr/local, so something else must have put that there. > Any other suggestions? Not really. I assume you noticed that the pre-compiled binary download is for Intel-based Macs only. If you have an older PPC Mac, you need to build the executable from source. Also, .bin is an old System Seven era Mac encoding format used to encode applications and other resource-fork files. The download is NOT a .bin file-- just gunzip the download, chmod, and that's all you should need to do. -j -- Jay A.
