	I just compiled elm and tried it out. I too got errors from
	submit. You have to run /usr/mmdf/bin/checkup. It will tell
	you to do some chowns, chgrps and chmods. I set some tmp
	directories to 777 (2777 didn't work :-( and now elm is
	working fine. (these tmp directories are subdirectories
	of directories :-) with mode 700, so it is no security risk)
