I had that problem with 2.0.35, and solved it by looking in the directory
mentioned in the error message. There, you would see a file called
something.hack, or similar. I thought, gee, this is somebody's fix, so I'll
try it. It is an alternate version of a certain file, so do some renaming.
It should work. It did for me. Do a diff between the std form and the
'hack' form. It was a 1 or 2 line diff.
