Hmm.  I have no idea now why that eval's there.  I must have thought I
needed it at some point (or I copied a pasted something I shouldn't
have), but things seem to work fine without it.

The eval might also explain why others were getting the "command not
found errors", but if so, I don't understand why I wasn't getting them
here too.

Thanks for pointing that out.
