[EMBOSS] More on EMBOSS install on OS X without fink or X11 -> does not write executables into /usr/local/share

[Robin Colgrove]

Sorry, I should have figured this out sooner myself
but for the benefit of any other newbies unaccustomed to being root:
once I re-ran the install with sudo, everything worked fine (without 
X11).

Now, I will have to go back and figure out about X11...

thanks for all the suggestions.
