Michael, Sorry about not being precise enough. Obviously you are correct that there are still some dependencies when using this tar ball--like an appropriate version of Perl! The tar ball does supply its own modules, its own MySQL, etc., so not that many distro-specific issues it appears to me. I presume that is the point of having this installation option. I was referring to the CPAN modules, as my understanding from reading documentation and code was that all required modules are in the tar ball. The scanner.pl code (via loadModules() in bootstrap.pm) rejects the tar ball supplied Compress::Zlib module. If you can tell me how this is caused by running Mandriva I would appreciate it, because as I said, I am very new to Perl (and modules look like yet another fine library version mess). I mean this sincerely, as similar issues seem likely to arise with each update, so whatever I can learn from this so much the better. I probably should also file a bug report? The reason this problem was not obvious is that nothing gets logged from the error. I haven't looked too deeply at this, but I think the scanner runs in a subprocess and the print statements (stdout) must be redirected (to like /dev/null). Not very useful when scanner dies and writes nothing to its log file (and yes, logging was set to debug level). The only message would be from plain old print statements (followed by exit).
