]Ahh. ]I had a feeling that might be the case. It's the recompiling of perl/apache and installing them without messing up the distro which fills me with trepidation. I'm not a total newbie but going as far as recompiling these two is a little bit scary. ] Could you give me some specific pointers to how best to compile/install them without messing up SUSE 9.0, specifically? As I said below my current problem seems to be with the finding of libxml2 - is that definitely going to be cured if I recompile from source? By Default, the libxml2, libxslt stuff get's installed in /opt/gnome. So the deal is to get your replacement version installed where it will be found -before- the RPM version Use $PATH for the executible side, but you need to install the library (check /etc/modules.conf) I cheat... I use --prefix=/usr (for the replacement tools). On Linux, you don't really need to uninstall all the libraries, just make sure that library name (libxml2.so is linked to libxml2.2.5.11.so) If you install from source, 1) it won't be built with libraries you don't have (and it won't break because it was linked against a library that you don't have.) 2.) it will come with the right set of include files. If you can get the same configuration as the guy who built the RPM then it will likely work for you the same as it does for him. It never worked for me ]Any information you can provide me with on getting this running under SUSE would be REALLY appreciated - I really want to play with Axkit but I'm stumbling at the first hurdle! Read the documentation (and if you don't get it..) Use the source Peter. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
