Thanks very much Holger,
I spend a couple of hours yesterday goggling around and I finally solved the
problem, although I am not fully sure how.
Bear with me because I am not a hacker or technogeek, far from it "-)
Anyway I found this Cpan thing that I had to run. In it, the command is
install Compress::Zlib
You have to reply some questions (mostly I just pressed the enter key
because I was not sure)
After a long time and hundreds of line scrolling by, it was finally
installed.
I am very happy to report that the backup is fine...and compressed!
Thanks for the help
Guy

well, first of all it's libcompress-zlib-perl (and it's Compress::Zlib
that
can't be found). The question commonly asked is whether you might have two
versions of Perl installed. Which path to perl is contained in the #!-line
of BackupPC_dump? Using that path, what error message does
/path/to/perl -MCompress::Zlib -e 1
give you? It *should* give no error message at all, but then you wouldn't
be
getting your error. If it does give an error, it should list which paths
in
@INC were searched. Is /usr/lib/perl5 among them? Why not? :) Permissions
*should really* be setup correctly by the Ubuntu package ...
In case your Ubuntu 6.10 package is different from mine (or for
reference),
you can check which files it includes with 'dpkg -L
libcompress-zlib-perl'.
Regards,
Holger
