Hi Yanan

You sent this email back when I had just left for vacation.  While I was gone, 
I wasn't really paying attention to the mailing list.  Today I am sitting at 
a beamline and have some time to fill while waiting for data, so I am 
reviewing all the mailing list correspondence from during my absence.

I am pleased that you were able to solve your problems with the installation.  
As you may know, I am a linux user also (although not a Fedora user, my 
distro of choice is SUSE).  I am surprised that you had so much trouble 
getting the stuff installed.  For instance, I am surprise that you need to 
move to the installation folder to run the codes.   The installer should have 
put them in a place that is in the normal path.

So I was wondering if you had any suggestions either for the functionality of 
the installation scripts or for the documentation on the web or elsewhere to 
make the installation clearer?

Thanks,
B
