THe gdbm (and probably others) library isnt set up correctly with regards to sym links in /usr/lib ln -s libgdbm.so.1.7.3 libgdbm.so Is this an ok mailing list to post such problems or should I go through the debian bug tracking system? More library problems.. has anyone managed to get ftplib working? I'm getting undefined references to the function calls, even though I've linked in the library (-lftp). Silvio
