Kai,
Yes, I've been using Centos plenty long enough to pickup a few
tid-bits of information that have been useful, but a lot of the info
passed on the mailing list is either way over my head, or I have no use
for it now or in the future. As for the "exact problem" -- it's an
error message, and I don't like seeing error messages when I have no
clue where to even begin looking besides the source that is causing
them. As for learning from earlier questions, yes, as a matter of a
fact, I do learn from them, and archive a LOT of threads that deal with
things I've seen before or something I feel I might need/use later on.
There's nothing wrong with being curious about error messages, I just
don't like to see them as I don't know what else might be being
affected. As for the cpan, the modules were not available via any
repository, hence cpan. All of the modules I grabbbed were for one
package and only one package that deals with my weather data and its
software. Ever heard of LDM or Gempak.. both required some modules
before it would even install, and they were NOT available anywhere
else. This software does not get updated but once in a blue moon, and
has nothing to do with Centos itself, other than being hosted on it.
One last thing.. I don't appreciate one bit you taking jabs at me and my
methods. You don't know me, and know even less about how I used my
computers. I follow instructions that come with packages I install, not
any kind of maybe this or maybe that. So in the future, I'd appreciate
it if you'd leave off the jabs and stabs about my knowledge of what I'm
doing. I'm no guru by any sort, but if I can't figure something out, I
thought the mailing list was where to ask, unless you think every
problem ever occured is covered under some form of google... I assure
you -- IT"S NOT.
