Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club! Many other people have installed without problem, so where is the bug? Despite the fact that you are "not a casual users" something went wrong with your install. Didn't you ever have something go wrong before? I'm only making suggestions from a desire to help. The common cure when something goes wrong with an install is to try it again. Shit, people have to do that all the time with Windows and it doesn't stop them from using Windows programs. Since I don't have any particular expertise I try to do things like always installing to a new directory first. Call it the caution I've learned from experience. Works for me. But I guess experts do things differently. Maybe there is a bug with the installer. I don't know. Is anybody besides Udo having problems? > Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club! > > To Sam (and to anybody else who might be interested): > >> Ok.
