Thank you.  You know that occurred to me last night as I contemplated the
ceiling above my bed.  I realized I was trying to run a highly GUI'd
program with no place for the GUI, neither the G nor the I, just the U. :)

I'll try to home build.  Hopefully it will go as smoothly as my home build
of povray on our 64-bit titanium cluster.

Fortunately, the problems with our Linux cluster got resolved, so I'm back
in business anyway. But it will be great to have a whole 'nother cluster to
use in the future.

thanks again.
