I installed exmh under SuSE 9.0 and the installation won't work, due to
an installation/configuration error. "which exmh" reports /usr/bin/exmh,
(this seems correct) and running exmh from the command line reports:

foolishewe@linux:~> exmh
Error in startup script: invalid command name "Env_Init"
    while executing
"Env_Init"
    (file "/usr/bin/exmh" line 101)

However, looking into /usr/bin/exmh (a tcl script) at lines 43 and 46
appears to be configured for exmh 2.6 when we are running exmh 2.6.3.
The offending lines read:
set exmh(library) /usr/lib/exmh-2.6
set install(dir,lib) /usr/lib/exmh-2.6

These lines should instead read:

set exmh(library) /usr/lib/exmh-2.6.3
set install(dir,lib) /usr/lib/exmh-2.6.3

I've made a bug report to suse about 6 months ago or so, but they
apparently haven't gotten around to fixing this yet, so I'm posting
the work around as this bug bit me after a recent reinstall.
