Thank you Mike, this will go in my personal archive.  In the interim, I 
applied some light pressure to the ISP's support department, and they fixed 
the problem.  I asked them to describe what they did, so I can share it 
with the MV community, and they responded:

"Dear valued customer:  #(insert name here :-/)
There were permission problems for the tmp directory that wouldn't allow 
all to write there. "

So there you have it.  I had mentioned to them that I had taken a look at 
the install scripts, and noted that they write some stuff outside of my 
user directory, and had suggested that this might be an issue.  Apparently 
it was. I hope this will be of benefit to my fellow humans who are caught 
in the struggle.
