I really admire the Slackware guys but unfortunately I'm only a rpm guy. And
I think for people with limited technical knowledge it's probably easier to
keep the system clean with rpms.
As a "compromise" I've just rebuilt the rpms from the src.rpm files, which
worked fine. But the result was the same. Then I installed the 1.1.6-fix1
version, and had the same problem. So it's clear that something in my system
is broken and not the fix-2 version. I think now I will check my backup files
to find out what has changed in the configuration of my system.
Thank you again
