Tom, Rather than compile it yourself, it's far easier to use the packages from the PLF, which work perfectly. The PLF (Penguin Liberation Front) site at http://plf.zarb.org contains RPMs for Mandrake that cannot be distributed with the main distribution for various legal and other reasons. It also has tweaked versions of pacakges in the main distribution. The easiest way to use the PLF is to go to their EasyURPMI page at http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ which you can use to select a mirror to set-up as a Package Source in the Mandrake Software Installer. Once you've added the Source, just go into Install Software as usual and you will have all the packages listed there to install. If you need any more help, just hollar! John.
