thanks,  Yes, as far as I can tell, the binaries are OK for me boxes.  I
can start it.  That is all I know to do.  I have passed it along to my
user.  I just prefer to compile myself (for the fun and problem solving
as well as the obvious security issues :)

Thank You and I will watch for the next release.  Soon? or long off?

      They are extraordinarily like children, these little people of the
             Antarctic world, either like children, or like old men,
        full of their own importance and late for dinner, in their black
         tail-coats and white shirt-fronts -- and rather portly withal.
