Hi, Dan!

Are you sure you didn't end up with two interchange installations? In my
FC3 installation, the prefix is /usr/lib/interchange, and the catalogs
are stored in /var/lib/interchange. So you probably have Interchange
installed in /var/lib/interchange, and your scripts pointing to
/usr/lib/interchange or /usr/local/interchange.

You might want to use 'Linux Standard Base' style install:
