This is incorrect.  It should be:
ln -s /usr/local/lib/mulberry/Resources ~/.mulberry/

Yes, but that only works for you.  For people setting up servers for=20
mulitple users, that's not a good solution.

When you launch mulberry for the first time, it will create the ~/.mulberry =

directory as well as the Plugins and Calendar and other subdirectories that =

are needed for *your* customized version of mulberry, but the Resources=20
directory is *not* created.  That's why you're missing the text.

In order to make a "generic" installer, the port has to place all those=20
directories in a central location, but you must create a symling to=20
Resources *or* just copy all the files to your own ~/.mulberry/Resources/=20
directory.

That's the *correct* way to do it.
