It failed suggesting to install Term::ReadKey 2) tried to install Term::ReadKey. It failed because gcc was not installed 3) tried to install gcc with yum (after spending quite some time on the net finding out how). It failed with " Lock table is out of available locker entries". 4) spent some time on the net and found a suggestion to " rm /var/lib/rpm/__db.00*", followed by " rpm rebuilddb". The first command succeeded, the second didn't as rpm simply output its useage summary. 5) ignoring the failure of "rpm rebuilddb" now accepted to install gcc. 6) install Term::ReadKey from CPAN now succeeded. 7) installing the lated CPAN now succeeded 8) installing Log::Log4perl now succeed without complaining for Recursive dependency. So I am still as puzzled as before, but at least I can go on. No wonder I still prefer the Mac over Linux... Jean-Denis
