Its likely that I've patched some bug along the line- since you are able to use the binary now, we can go that route. Later, I can pack up a complete version of the garp source tree and you might try rebuilding it on your system- but since I know you're busy with classes starting, I'll put that on the back burner unlessI hear from you that you want to try a new source.
