I've spent the past few days going through the backlogs of this list and have been able to solve many problems so far. However, I've hit a point where I don't see a record of this problem/solution and am hoping someone can help. I am able to load ifeffit and execute commands, however when I try to load any of the ancillary programs there are failures (see printout below). As per previous posts, I've installed and updated g77 via fink, as well as tk and tk::pod via cpan. I also had to install LWP via cpan before I could get ifeffit to run. From the install notes I see that ifeffit's intall program trashes the LWP directory in perl, so I'm curious if I've caused this problem myself (and if so, how do I fix it?). Secifically, the ifeffit.pm and Tk/Pod.pm files cannot be found anywhere in the @INC directories. Also, running the locate command I cannot find the files on the drive anywhere else. Additionally, I tried to download and re-install ifeffit from the disk image and it cannot install - the error says "you cannot continue. there is nothing to install."
