Non-Working Mercurial after Mac OS X Lion (10.7) Install

[Kime H. Smith, Jr.]

Augie, et al:

1. Deleted all Python libraries per your instructions, and the 2 hg executables. 
2.(Extraneous) Installed Mac OS X 10.7.1 update. 
3. Then re-ran the installer from selenic.com -- no joy. Still got "abort: file:// URLs can only refer to localhost" when running "hg"…..

What is the cause of this error? Any thoughts?

Best,
KIme
