You're right, it doesn't find any config files. It would show up like in 
this sample output:

   CWD: /home/martin/tmp
   Config files: /home/martin/.pca
   Found /usr/sfw/bin/wget (1.12, 11200, https)

pca uses the HOME environment variable to determine the home directory. 
Is it possible that's it not set in your shell? Try "echo $HOME".

If this is indeed the problem - which shell do you use? Try "echo 
$SHELL". Are you clearing the HOME variable in some startup file, or 
does the shell not set HOME at all?

Martin.
