[Therion] Therion 5.3.16 - Error opening th and th2 files

[Bill Gee]

Update -

Trying this on a different Linux distro is going to be more difficult than I 
thought.  I use derivatives of Red Hat on all my systems.  That includes 
CentOS 6 and 7 as well as Fedora.  I thought I would try installing Therion on 
one of my CentOS test systems.

No such luck, at least not easily.  There are no packages for either tkimg or 
metapost for CentOS.  I am going to have to hunt around to find a tarball for 
them.
