Hi, Seth asked for this error message but I though it would be better to post it here. Just in case ...
I wanted to uninstall the Gnome packages so I could compile my own. I removed too much. After reinstalling Slackware 8.0 and redoing the settings, my system is mostly back. Now 3 things, that I know of, don't work; the mouse, MySQL and X. They all give the same error: socket(): Address family not supported by protocol Using the mouse as an example: gpm: oops() invoked from gpm.c(1003) socket(): Address family not supported by protocol So what I'm looking for is the underlying cause that these guys have in common. Thanks one and all. Bob ( the other one )
