Jakub,

Thanks for the information.  I tried your instructions, however it
didn't complete.  Here's where it stopped.

By the way, I have a really hard time understanding the version
numbering within the UltraPenguin distribution.  It seems to me that
the UltraPenguin-1.1.9 has been evolving under the same name for
months.  I wonder if it would be wise to change to something simple
based on the date like WINE.  What do you think?
