This will make me seem pretty dense, but I'm still trying to figure
out how to reply to specific threads in the list-serve from my gmail,
and I keep seeming to create new threads... for which I wholeheartedly
apologize if it's becoming annoying. But I really do thank everyone
for their help and patience thus far.

What I've attempted since earlier today:
1. Completely reinstalling from older versions and newer versions of
IFEFFIT onto the Mac. Didn't work.
2. I went to two other Macs, did a clean install of the newest iXAFS
software and it worked fine... which can only mean something really
crazy is going on with the Mac I am trying to use for my work. I'd
like to mention again that I was able to import data just fine last
night, and it was only this morning that things started breaking.
3. I've reinstalled X11 and XQuartz.
4. I've checked the data files on the other Mac machines (and Dr.
Zając checked them) and the files were fine.
5. I attempted to run from the command line and found some errors
that weren't there at one time.
6. I then checked my version of perl, and it is version 5

bash-3.2$ perl -v

This is perl, v5.10.0 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level
(with 2 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

6. Something that MAY shed light on the situation... when I open
iXAFS from the Application menu in the Dock (I'll try attaching an
image), it seems that iXAFS is "broken" or not installing correctly.
However, I can then open iXAFS up in the FINDER window, it looks
"okay" and can be opened... it just doesn't function correctly. What
I don't understand is why a clean install doesn't fit the problem...
are there hidden files I should remove as well that aren't removed
when I uninstall iXAFS from the application directory with (rm -rf ) ?

7. George mentions that his build is different than my own, so now I
am looking at my structure (modified for more pleasant viewing), but
the directory does seem to exist.:

bash-3.2$ ls /Applications/iXAFS.app/
