I put /sw/bin  and /supp/bin  in my PATH (before the path that has ruby 1.6)
in the .login file and things run OK now.

BTW, What is all the gettext stuff? Did it come with   X ow something else?

(I know I should take this to comp.unix.shell if I really want to get into it.)

Thanks again for help and email.
