That is the problem.  It is a file, but I thought it is a file create by or
for the system and was needed, so I just thought that the installation was
trying to install somewhere it shouldn't be.  In other words a bad
installation.  When I "vi bin", it looks like a binary file.

Here is the results of those commands:

Any ideas how to fix this?
