Hello Steve,
I am back in the ydl partition.  I am trying to install MOL.  These are 
the things that happen and so far have prohibited the installation.  The 
kernel headers are installed.  From the following output you can see:
1) that when I try to rebuild the src.rpms I am getting a strange files 
ro directories not found message, even though in the directory they are 
actually existent just as well as in the file browser window.
2) trying to ./configure after expanding the tgz files ends with the 
result that my C++ compiler is broken.  I unistalled it and reinstalled 
it freshly.
3) if I am using the 9.65- or 9.66- version doesn't matter.

Now, what can I do in order to install MOL?
