(I think I know this one!  Maybe I'm not brain dead after all? :-)

Brent, In any perl equipped Linux system you can do the following: 

# perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan>install Bundle::CPAN 
cpan>install Bundle::Interchange

There is a very new version of CPAN out there so that is why I recommend 
doing that install first.  Don't worry if you have already installed any of 
these packages previously.  The system will just tell you that all of the 
packages in the bundle are up-to-date.   

As for your other "path" questions, the only thing I found to help (after 2-3 
weeks of phutzing around trying to get an install to work) was that the way I 
could make it work was to restart from scratch each time.  The directory 
structure is not for mere mortals to understand (as you referrenced, there 
ARE indeed IC Gods...)  

I eventually discovered that the tarball version worked consistenly well for 
me.  *You* may be able to get the RPM's to load, but I'm just sharing what 
worked for me.  

Also, you might search the archives for a tech tip posted by 
tburt@timburt.com - "Installation answers for IC 4.8.3 on Redhat".  It was 
most helpful indeed.    With a good roadmap, I know I can find my way and his 
is a good one for getting the Foundation demo up and running.   

HTH,
