Hi Bearcat,
I had this problem myself. I moved egrep and fgrep from /usr/bin to
/bin. Turns out the spell needs these to complete properly, but if you've
got them the spell chokes 'cause it can't replace the symlinks. By moving
them to /bin, the spell can still use them and there's nothing to replace
so it can successfully create the symlinks.

After casting, be sure to remove the files in /bin.
