Huh me too.  first glance I can't see what the deal is.  I simply did
wget url and moved it.  Of course I also had to make it executable.  

here is the orig line 56:

   [ -x "$FC_CACHE" ] HOME=/ "$FC_CACHE" $d

here is one with the change I made to get it to work (added &&)

   [ -x "$FC_CACHE" ] && HOME=/ "$FC_CACHE" $d

Is there some environment var. that is letting this work on some boxes
and not others?

FYI this is on a ppc box although I can't see why that would make a
difference.
