Re: YP-Tools fails to install

The same response in other words:

1. mkdir -p /Programs/YP-Tools/2.8/var/yp/
2. mv /Programs/YP-Tools/2.8/.SandboxInstall_Root/System/Variable/yp/nicknames
/Programs/YP-Tools/2.8/var/yp/
3. rm -r /Programs/YP-Tools/2.8/.SandboxInstall_Root
4. SymlinkProgram YP-Tools 2.8
