Glad to hear it finally worked!!  My guess is that a leftover Receipt
was preventing the installation of some of the components.  Does that
seem right to you?  If not, can you give us an idea of what might have
been the problem before (for example, was there stale stuff left under
/usr/local/)?

I will add the notes I sent you (also below) to the Mac section of the Wiki:
    http://cars9.uchicago.edu/iffwiki/IfeffitOnMacintosh

If you (or Paul, or anyone else) find errors in this, or would like to
add information to the wiki, please do!!
