I decided that this was going to be a longer than usual afternoon and  
so I tried again, a bit more substantively and, eventually, it worked  
after a fashion. Here are the ugly details in 6 parts

1) On what I have, namely
	The Tik Z and PGF Packages
	Manual for version 2.00
	http://sourceforge.net/projects/pgf
	Till Tantau
  page 6 is in the middle of the table of contents.

2) I had downloaded "pgf-2.00" from Source Forge but when I installed  
it as explained on page 74:

	7.3.1 Installation that Keeps Everything Together
	[…]
	If you want to keep “everything in one place,” inside the texmf tree  
that you have chosen create a
	sub-sub-directory called texmf/tex/generic/pgf or texmf/tex/generic/ 
pgf-2.00, if you prefer.
(I used texmf/tex/latex/pgf along with all my .sty files)
	Then place all files of the pgf package in this directory.
(I placed the 6 folders, basiclayer, compatibility frontendlayer,  
math, systemlayer, utilities)
	Finally, rebuild TEX’s filename database. This is done by
	running the command texhash or mktexlsr (they are the same). In  
MikTEX, there is a menu option to do
	this.

things didn't work. Then, looking at the console, I noticed that I  
already had pgf from TeXLive so I took out the pgf folder from the  
latex folder and tried again. This is what worked. But I was running  
on gwTeX.

So, this time, I used the TeX Distribution to change from gwTeX to  
TeXLive-2008 which I had downloaded a while ago but which, I don't  
remember why, I am not using.

3) With just:

	\usepackage{tikz}
	\usepackage{tkz-tab}
	\usepackage[upright]{fourier}
	\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
	\usepackage{amsmath,fullpage}

—The example from page 92 still works
—The Sign-diagram with the same packages gives the error

	! Package pgfkeys Error: I do not know the key '/tikz/decoration'  
and I am goin
	g to ignore it. Perhaps you misspelled it.

	See the pgfkeys package documentation for explanation.
	Type  H <return>  for immediate help.

4) With,

	\usepackage[dvipsnames]{xcolor}\usetikzlibrary 
{decorations.pathreplacing}

in addition to the above packages, without the Sign-diagram, I  
already get the error

{decorations.pathreplacing}
?
Process aborted

But, Return instead of Abort compiles the example from page 92

5) With the same packages and with the Sign-diagram in addition to  
the example from page 92 I get the same error and Return instead of  
Abort compiles both the example from page 92 and the Sign-diagram.  
So, in a manner, it works.


6) The questions that remained were
—whether it was going to work with all the other packages that I am  
using in the magnum opus. It does in the same manner as above.
—why did I get from TeXLive back to gwTeX? Something must not have  
been working.

So, I guess the time for Leopard and the big cleanup is coming up  
real soon now.

Hopeful regards
