OK--so bugzilla search led to a filed bug and thread in developer forum: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6849
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39802 Wish I had known about bugzilla earlier. Finally saw it mentioned in forums, but only after had already fixed this. Did not come across it looking at various web pages. Obviously tech support person didn't bother looking here either though! Will investigate further as there are obviously multiple issues/possibilities. It is clear from this that the particular system (e.g., Mandriva) could play a role here. Wow--the Perl module system and its dependencies looks even worse than I thought it was. Want to try to figure out why the the tar ball supplied Compress::Zlib module doesn't work here, so I fully understand this. Certainly what I read about "the .tar.gz version of SqueezeCenter which includes all required CPAN modules" is not true--at least not in the sense that the modules will actually function. Thanks for helping with understanding. Forum is really *much* more useful than tech support obviously.
