Rockin, i'm taking a shot at narrowing the problem for you, but this is
a stab based on thinking about what could go wrong with installing
software on unix/linux systems and your error:

The following modules failed to load: DBD::SQLite

I've not seen the slim RPM, nor have any idea what it contains, so I
may be way off here.  But at least it will eliminate one cause if I'm
wrong.

It is possible that the RPM package does not include the correct
file/directory permissions for the perl modules (if it installs them -
again, i don't know).  Furthermore, if your root's umask is restrictive
(eg. 077), the perl modules would be installed such that only root could
read and execute them.  Your web server would not be able to, nor would
slim.exe (unless it was run as root).  Other's having a less
restrictive umask would explain why they run fine, but you don't.  How
you do an "su" or login in as root affects this, as root's .profile may
or may not be read, and hence umask set differently.

Copy, paste and run the following command:

find / -name SQLite -ls

on your Mandrake system and be sure the files are 644 permissions and
the directories are 755 (if you don't know what this is, paste the
results to a post).
