Perhaps the problem is the fact that you're using sashARCS instead of sash.IP20...I haven't had much experience with 5.3, but I know this works using the instructions from the above site for IRIX 6.5.

Well, I was all set to write and ask how you did it, because I didn't do
it, but while I was verifying my error messages, it... worked.
Man, I hate it when that happens. :)
The only thing that I can think of that I did differently was add a '/'
do the end of the directory name, so
'/data/share/irix6.5.5/inst/dist/'... but I'm not sure about that. I'll
try to verify it after finishing up the install (at least, assuming
there are no more bumps down the road...)

Thanks for your help, everybody.
