I've attempted to install XFCE using the latest installer and I get
the following error:

## Running installer-gui (without debugging)
./installer-gui
./control.sh: line 249: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
./control.sh: line 374: syntax error: unexpected end of file


What have I missed?  I'd really like to install XFCE tonight.

To: xfce at xfce.org


Hi,
I recently downloaded the latest xfce 4.2 installers and followed the
instructions given here:
http://www.os-works.com/documentation/xfce-installers/4.2.1/xfce-installer/


When I run xfce4-4.2.1.1-installer.bin,  the installation begins but
when compiling it failes on the first item which is "xfce icon theme".
 The final error is as follows:

## Running installer-gui (without debugging)
./installer-gui
./control.sh: line 249: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
./control.sh: line 374: syntax error: unexpected end of file

I have pasted the rest of the relevant log file at the end of this message.


I would appreciate any help.


I'm a linux newbie running 2.6.11-kanotix-11.  KDE is killing my
laptop and I desparately need to switch to a real desktop like xfce:)


Thanks in advance.
