RE: Newbie Alert: Missing Install Dependency

Mike, et. Al:

Thanks for the detailed replies and responses, I just wanted to let everyone
know that Mike's response was the ticket.  The files existed, just were
symlinked differently.

I was able to install the package without any problems.

Thanks again,
