Re: modules pex5 and xie and X4.2
But, according to the log, they don't exist. It's been suggested that modules pex5 and xie are deprecated (which could explain their not being able to be loaded ;-). They are no longer supported and no longer built by default. No major application uses these extensions. Is this a minor bug? If you really need them, feel free to compile them from sources. They still build -- but we don't promise they'll remain that way in future releases. Juliusz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
