Subject: Installation of tioga

Dear all,

when installing tioga

http://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/~paxton/tioga.html, 

I get a cannot read symbol, bad value error  (see below).
I tried the gem and QUICK_INSTALL and HOME_INSTALL 
variants. 
Has somebody else had this problem ? How did they solve it -
change compilation flags for -fPIC ?

Best regards,

Axel
