Problem starting up v1.100

[Charles LaBrec <Charles.Labrec@East>]

I sent this earlier to Bharat, but since he's leaving, I decided to
forward it to everyone.  I think I've seen some others who reported
the same problems:

I just downloaded the small distribution of PilotManager 1.100
and tried to run it, and got:

154 crl_rhyslin$$ /opt/pilotmgr/PilotManager
./Setup: ./Setup: cannot open

So I cd'd to the /opt/pilotmgr dir and tried it again:

158 crl_rhyslin$$ /opt/pilotmgr/PilotManager  

Welcome to the PilotManager setup utility.  Setup will be invoked
automatically the first time you run PilotManager.  After that, if you
wish to reconfigure PilotManager, you can run Setup by hand.

Setup will configure your installation of PilotManager.  It will
attempt to locate an appropriate version of Perl and configure
PilotManager to use that version.

Then, it will run a series of tests on your environment to determine
whether or not you will be able to run PilotManager without
difficulty.

Configuring PilotManager...Unable to rename PilotMgr.pm


OK, so I became root to run Setup:

44 root_rhyslin_5.6## Setup
./Setup: Permission denied

OK, so it can't be run standalone:

45 root_rhyslin_5.6## ./PilotManager

        You do not have the correct binary of the PDA::Pilot module
        installed in either your PilotManager distribution or your
        perl installation.

        Please read README.porting for information about how to 
        download and install this module.
            

I looked at README.porting.  It talks about a PilotMgr::Configure that
doesn't exist in the v1.100 distribution.  It also does not discuss the
PDA::Pilot module mentioned above.  I am running perl5 from a SoftDist
distribution.

Any idea what is wrong?

I also tried downloading the full version, but also got nowhere.
