That would be my guess :) Exactly what you've done, in order to
get that, is more difficult to speculate about. Here are some
things to check.

/var/www/htdocs/bb needs to be a symbolic link that points back
to the "www" sub-directory of your BB server installation. The
"gifs" directory should actually be the www/gifs directory of
the installation and that should contain all the required GIFs.
If it's empty (as your post implies) then something is missing
from your installation.

In any case, the best way to proceed is likely to be to start
again from scratch. After extraction, make sure that the GIFs
are there (if they were missing before) and then pay special
attention to the "bbconfig" step. Does it correctly identify
your OS? If you keep a note of the information that you use
for this stage, you can then post it here if you end up with
the same problem at the end.

Cheers, Phil.
