I don't use RedHat, so I'm not sure how up2date works, but I'd guess that it may have seen Perl 5.8 as a failed RPM installation or something. > I think that the rpm installed perl in /usr/bin > and the source install put it in /usr/local/bin Quite possibly. You only need to know this if you did anything besides the default ./configure (i.e. purposely installed it in /var/logs/not_really_a_log/ha/ive/hidden/perl to be silly/) > can I safely uninstall the perl rpm's without messing up the other > installation from source? It shouldn't hurt your system too much. I suppose there is a good chance that uninstalling an RPM will uninstall a dependency that the source install links to. Why are you installing a source version anyways? You shouldn't mix and match sources and RPMS. It's bad form and can lead to problems. -Dan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
