[sword-devel] Modules Don't Work

[Jon Behrens]

Thanks for the response Greg, but that doesn't work. Without being root:

      ./installmgr -ri CrossWire ESV
         Couldn't find remote source [CrossWire]

     ./installmgr -sc
         (Returns warnings and asks whether to proceed)
         enable? [no] yes
             Failed to sync config file with master remote source list.
