[bt-devel] [sword-support] Installation was interupted

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Dear Al,

My apologies for the troubles. My guess is that Bibletime began to setup module (Bibles, commentaries, etc.) files in your home directory and possibly didn't finish and now might be in a strange state. You might try looming for ~/.sword and ~/.bibletime folders and delete those. I hope this helps. I am also CC'ing the bt-devel list to see if the developer community has any comments.

Blessings as you seek to draw nearer to our Lord,

Troy A. Griffitts

Unfortunately I accidentally closed my laptop lid as it was installing the program and (a) am unable to locate anywhere within the program which will enable me to continue, and (b) whenever I uninstall and reload the program it immediately reverts to the partially installed program I had yesterday prior to reloading.
