Paul,

I think that the problem is with the installer. Here is what happens CONSISTENTLY:

1) I start with Ifeffit 1.2.7 and horae-058, and everything is smooth.

2) I download the ifeffit-1.2.8_Mac10.4.dmg file from Sourceforge and run the Installer

3) After that, when I launch athena from the command line I get the message:

4) The situation is reverted by deleting the /Applications/Ifeffit folder AND the /Library/Perl folder) and copying the same folders from a backup I always keep (lucky me)

5) after that, I go back to Ifeffit 1.2.7 and horae-058 and everything works again

I hope this helps you making a working installer for 10.4 :-)

Stefano
