[cad-linux] Re: test

i have not purged it yet.
i think the problem is a dependency, but it still going.  i did find a few
problems last night, but none of them seemed to have fixed alien.

i'll try that tonight.  if it does not work then i guess we can try the tarball
approach.  

thanks for the suggestions
