Just a comment: as I saw those errors I didn't check
if everything was Ok, but after reading your mail I
did, I went to $prefix and bin/check'ed_perms and
system answered "No problems found" :-)

In the page I see that that doesn't mean that
everything is working perfectly well but at least is
better than the errors I got at the begining :-)

I keep on moving forward, I am already at
http://www.list.org/install-final.html

I hope not to disturb more O:-)

Thanks to all of you for your helps :-)

Kisses,

Maria G Suarez
