Comment:

 Thank you for the prefs.xml file. I tried running "pidin -d" again and
 still the program wouldn't load up. The output is below.

 However, I've noticed something, which is also in the last output I gave
 you which I think is highly suggestive of the problem, even though I don't
 know how to remedy it.
