OK, my mistake; I didn't realize that you hadn't downloaded the GUS
project.

Point 7 does say that you should check out the GUS and install projects
from the Sanger CVS repository (and provides the command for doing so,
lest you should misconstrue "check out" to mean "look at.")  However, we
could reword point 8 so that it says something like this:

"At a minimum you will need to get the CBIL project (in addition to the
GUS and install projects, which you should have downloaded in step 7.)"

The build process creates a new copy of this script in your $GUS_HOME,
and makes it executable.  It will also copy the library (.pm) files to a
location in your $GUS_HOME, where they *will* conform to the directory
structure that you would expect from the package names.  If you follow
all of the setup directions (including setting your PATH and other
environment variables as indicated), then you should end up with the
grantPermissions.pl in your PATH (i.e. you should be able to just say
'rehash; grantPermissions.pl' and have it find and run the script
correctly.)  I'll try to improve the documentation to explain some of
these things a little more thoroughly.
