Did you run "/tmp/finish" to complete the install?

I doubt that it "doesn't do anything".  I assume you really mean
it gives you an error about not finding "p"?  (If you are logged
in as "root", then the current directory is, by default, not in
the search path.)

Does that menu actually exist?  It's not part of filePro, so it
must be a user-defined menu.  Did you restore the user menus?

If you didn't run "/tmp/finish", then you didn't complete the
installation.
