Here's how to check: rpm -q perl Probably it will be listed twice. Another check: 20:55 [summer@bobtail ~]$ rpm -qa perl\* --qf '%{name} %{arch}\n' perl x86_64 perl-BSD-Resource x86_64 and so on. I don't know the proper resolution to this, but Troy and Connie will probably tell us. -- Cheers John -- spambait [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] -- Advice http://webfoot.com/advice/email.top.php http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 You cannot reply off-list:-)
