Software installed via the GUI, e.g., Thunderbird, emacs, LibreOffice

Attempt to install FastX downloaded from www.starnet.com. Code is unpacked from a tar.gz file and run without any special installation. Attempt to configure SLAC but code fails with a relocation error associated with /lib64/libssl.so.10. Karl to the rescue! Use the "ssh" connection rather than "https" while he queries the vendor for a proper fix.
TRS should not be used as it currently requires the use of DES enctypes that are insecure. WE have a todo to remove the ability for this weak-key to work. And are working to make TRS more secure so it can be used on Centos.
