After finding-out that ActiveState's mod_perl dll doesn't really work properly I set about getting myself a Linux partition (Mandrake 7.2) only to find I can't effectively add mod_perl to my new Linux / Apache setup. The apache-mod_perl-1.3.14_1.24-4mdk.i586.rpm returned a "failed dependencies" : 1. apache-common >= 1.3.14-4mdk ( I think my current Apache is 1.3.14-2mdk) 2. libdb-3.1.so 3. libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2) The version of Apache is also "Advanced Extranet Server" so do I have a non-standard installation? I tried uninstalling Apache and simply using the .tar.gz versions of Apache and mod_perl. Everything installed OK under /usr/local/apache but since the original setup was spread over different directories (/etc/httpd and /var/www) it didn't boot properly as the linuxconf script must have been configured to look for /etc/httpd Very confused. How best to get all this working? Garry Heaton
