Where did you install it, /usr/local ? I would remove it if at all possible. I've kind of lost track of you distro, it's debian isn't it ? Jonny Lamb has got some updated packages into debian unstable. Given you have a lot of different versions installed, I think the best thing to do is 1) remove everything you can find that is libsynce, librapi, librra related, from source or anything else. This will include packages called libsynce0 libsynce-dev librapi2 librapi2-dev librapi2-tools python-rapi2 librra0 librra-dev python-rra 2) Do you have unstable in your apt sources.list ? If so just install the latest versions of the above list from unstable. If not, I can tell you how to add unstable but not have apt upgrade your whole system. > 2 Run the other way.

By default they would go in /usr/local. If you haven't installed anything else important in there you could just go through and delete every file you find, though dont delete all the directories ! > 3 As 2 but wait until I am ready to do a clean install as I probably > have rubbish all over my system due to the crimes listed below. > > Thanks again- Phil > > > > On Wed, 2008-02-13 at 09:14 +0100, Guido Diepen wrote: > > Hi Philip, > > > > On Wednesday 13 February 2008 02:41:50 Philip Aston wrote: > > > Hi Mark,Guido > > > > > > First, I appreciate all your help and patience in bearing with the > > > blundering of an amateur!
