Youch!

Okay, so here's my suggestion.  The error with 1.7 seems to be that it
won't replace an existing file.  Just cd into your home directory, and
do this:

svn export http://svn.enzotools.org/yt/trunk/doc/install_script.sh

Then, make sure there're no yt-i386 or yt-x86_64 directories or
anything in your home directory.  Then edit the script, set
INST_PNG=1, and run:

bash install_script.sh

This should be totally clean.  I'm going to try to disable the yt
install script inside enzo, because we're moving away from that model
of distribution.

Anyway, let me know how that goes.  Sorry this is so troublesome!
