Sorry to say this, but.... What can you do? Install the thing properly, following *exactly* the steps detailed in the installation documentation.

I'm not being awkward, but I don't recall ever having to put a symbolic link in anywhere during a SuSe or Red Hat install. And my Linux installations work without a problem.

And if I can get it working on Linux like that, so can anyone.
