Hmm, strange, I haven't had any problems uninstalling with OSXPM yet...  
  maybe Martin's path problem is caused by the pkgs being build on  
10.2/Jaguar and installed on an older version of MacOS X.

This is due to the new help_symbol handling in 0.37.  Almost every  
external needs to be updated to work with 0.37.  Some have been updated  
already.  As they are updated in CVS, the changes will automatically be  
included in the next versions of the MacOS X installer.
