Problems, Problems!

[John Lowell]

Well, truth be know, Terry, unless its tucked away in a very obscure spot,
neither the install documentation nor the webpage mention this requirement
at all as far as I can tell. And, of course, if it weren't for common sense,
one wouldn't feel it necessary to review anything more than the last several
months of a mail archive when confronted with a problem of this kind, eh? No
one has raised the question of your adding dependencies to the many GUI apps
in the moonbase. A simple, easy to find directive would be enough.
