I have all this working on both the production machine and the dev machine
(some time ago now).
I just wanted to confirm that on the dev machine:
a) make uninstall
b) make
c) make install

Cleared up any errors I had and allowed me to run.

I had 2.4.0 installed originally and I simply did a new install of 2.4.2
over top of it.
Did remember if I had overridden any of the configuration options the first
time.
