Hi Matt,
Hmmmm. What I would do next is to trash /Library/Perl. This is where much of where horae goes, though it should be overwritten on installation too. Trashing /Library/Perl is a little riskier than trashing /Applications/Ifeffit because it's possible that some other perl application is using that folder too.
I think I have some applications that use the Perl library. I have two folders in that library, 5.8.1 and 5.8.6 and I think that may be the problem. I moved 5.8.6 to 5.8.6_SAVE and used the 10.4 dmg installer: the result is the following message: stefano% athena Can't locate Tk.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /sw/lib/perl5 /sw/lib/perl5/darwin /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Library/Perl /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Network/Library/Perl .) at /Applications/Ifeffit/bin/athena line 52. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /Applications/Ifeffit/bin/athena line 52. So I trashed the /Applications/Ifeffit folder again and tried to install with the 10.3 dmg (I think that 5.8.6 is used by Tiger): the result is the same message as above Then, I changed the name of 5.8.6_SAVE back to 5.8.6 and... I get the same message that I sent as image in my previous emails. Please HELP!!!!!!
