Except on *my* -current machine, I guess. In my latest attempt, I tried
installing from pkgsrc, and was greeted with a segfault during installation
(which is a totally different error than when I tried installing it by hand
according to the instructions posted a couple months ago - in that case,
the setup binary just died with no message and no core). I have all the
suse_linux stuff from pkgsrc installed.

About the pkgsrc install - when you attempt to install without having the
"one-piece" tarfile in distfiles, it tries to get it for you. This failed
for me with a "This document has moved" message. Since I already had the
"7-piece" tarfile set, I tried putting that in distfiles, but it didn't
even notice it. So I untarred them then tarred them back into a single
file. This failed the checksum of course, *then* .... [remainder of
rambling story of failure omitted]

My next step is to try getting the one-piece tarball by hand (I was never
able to get that to complete last time I tried - that's why I grabbed the
multiple chunks instead).
