I'm afraid my mind reading device is offline today, could you provide
the following information:

- What OS?
- How did you try to install the 8.3 version? Packaged or compiled
  yourself?
- What exactly did you type?
- What was the exact error message?
- How was your 8.2 installation installed?
- Which documentation/google searches have you already tried to resolve
this?

Thanks in advance,
