As it turns out, and I couldn't find anything specific in the documentation, you need to install support for 2.2.x binaries, it was called compat22 or something. While I'm there, I'm adding in 2.0 and 2.1. Squid, DNews, Pine and others appear to run now... Maybe this is something that needs to be very heavily emphasized on doing an installation. I used the express install and had to select 'custom' and manually make sure the options were selected. They appeared (in my case) to default to not being installed. Regards, d.
