Thanks for the tips guys, especially Steffen Barszus who solved my problem. For your information the problem was solved with the installation of two missing libs NOT asked for at installation,
kdelibs-devel-3.1 libgdbm2-devel-1.8 I am trying to report this problem to Mandrake with little success. It appears the cooker, and bugzilla mailing lists are for cooker installs only, not current releases and I can't find any other ways of reporting problems. Any info would be appreciated. This is the first problem I've had recompiling src.rpms after reading the guide at http://cybercfo.gkmweb.com/mandrake_a_la_gentoo.pdf and I didn't need to comment out the spec file either. Will check out the opt flags, been using the default ones as they should also work by default, being too ambitious often leads to problems, and this way you get the majority of a large potential increase in speed without as much hassle. Thanks for pointing out the tbird flag, I had been wondering what was right for my duron. Cheers Huw
