Hi Alexis:

Never mind.  The whole point of those detailed instructions was to
figure out why you were getting the segfault, and I was not.  But
something changed from yesterday until today for me (I am not sure
what), and now I see that segfault as well.  So I can take it
from here and will let you know when I have that solved.
