didn't see any replies so I am trying again: Am trying to run the new Drak tools with Mandrake 7.1. All were installed by rpm and no dependancy problems showed. Drakfont works fine and is a nice step towards beautifying my desktop. But, when i try to run the other tools they fail with variations on the following: Can't load '/usr/lib/libDrakX/auto/c/stuff/stuff.so' for module c::stuff: /usr/lib/libDrakX/auto/c/stuff/stuff.so: undefined symbol: fdio at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/DynaLoader.pm line 200. at /usr/lib/libDrakX/c.pm line 5 Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/libDrakX/c.pm line 5.

(substitute drak* for /usr//sbin/drakboot) I've upgraded my perl install to 5.6 via rpm. any help much appreciated... -- Keith Robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------------
