Tony, You ask "are there hidden files I should remove as well that aren't
removed...?" I do find a "Perl" folder in my "Library" folder. I'm not sure if this was installed by iXAFS or affects iXAFS...George Thank you for your continued effort to help. You're right, I found this as well. Even as root user, some of the files there seemed pretty protected, but I was able to *move* them out and into a folder on my Desktop. I then attempted to reinstall iXAFS. Unfortunately, it did not fix the problem. So I put them back. I have also attempted to take the iXAFS that I know works another another Snow Leopard installation that I have been using, and copy it directly onto the Macbook Pro (the one having the issues). This did not work. I have now attempted the following: 1. Reinstalled XCode (some of the errors from the command line run seemed to hint at a problem with dynamic libraries and fortran). Sadly, this did not fix the problem. 2. I then used Disk Utility to repair permissions. Interestingly, there were some Perl permissions that were in error, but they weren't the source of the problem. I HAVE noticed something unusual though that might hint at other "hidden" files. I have noticed that when I un-install iXAFS by dragging to the trash, then emptying the trash... and then reinstalling, that iXAFS "remembers" the old path that I wanted it to use to point for default projects or files. If I was doing a clean install, I would expect this line to be pointing at the default setting of Documents, but it isn't. So it must still remember something from the old installation. I am unfortunately running out of ideas, and the only thing I can think of next is to attempt to check for Repairs through a boot disk... and barring all else, scavenging all my important information or data, then wiping out the Macbook for a clean re-install. It wouldn't be too bad, except for those who have compiled ROOT and GEANT from source, you know how long that can take :-) Thanks again for those who have helped and been patient trying to help me find the problem.
