After all the help I have received from this list (directly and from
reading posts), glad I could help!  :-)  BTW, I realized afterwards
that it's more accurate to say I recompiled all the modules according
to the instructions, then installed the ones I needed as you said.
Seemed like overkill but it was a good learning experience.
