You solved a problem that has been driving me nuts for a couple of days now. Everytime I tried to use dselect to upgrade some of the other hamm packages it would segfault right after it tried to connect to the ftp site. I had it narrowed down to something in perl but couldn't find it. I didn't even think of the lib's. I was just about to write an email to the list asking if anybody knew what this was and saw your post sitting there and read it. Low and behold, I removed the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and CPP_PATH and she's a workin again. Yes. I too used the deb's from the KDE site. Against a warning from somebody on this list, but the Debian KDE was outdated so I went for it. Good work. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
