I'm trying to install Cobra under 10.6.8, and I get the following error when running sudo bin/install-from-sources (I get the same if I add the which dmcs thing at the end):

I've tried to find info elsewhere in the forum, but nothing jumped out. Oh—the sources I used to compile are whatever came off SVN today.

I've confirmed the problem. I'll post again when it's fixed.

Fixed.

And now it says "Success!"

Thanks for the incredibly fast turnaround—I'm impressed, and now eager to get into learning this language!
