Hello all:

I received the error below after cat'ing Jeshua's binary pieces.  The installer didn't recognize the cat'ed package as a .tar.gz, when I added the .tar.gz when cat'ing.  Then I tried cat'ing to a file named 'grass5.0beta11_Darwin_bin' and tar'ing and gz'ing it.  This solved the installer's problem with .tar.gz.  Below is the output after running the install script.

Thanks,
Andy Agena
