David,

initially the problem surfaced with the latest i-Installer version  
(6.2.6-8), though they persisted with the current source install  
(6.2.8), which now works fine. I think that Kyle was right with his  
assumption that some components were not found, though if that's  
true, I'm not sure why it didn't seem like a more common problem then.

Cheers,
Jan
