Is the "path.al" file > dependent on URI finding and using the "Storable" files? I have no idea what path.al is here. You can probably also just ignore this test error and then just run 'make install' for URI to get going. The failure just means that something prevents URI objects from being stored and retrieved with Storable. This might not matter if the code you run does not do this. Regards, Gisle
