    Hmmmm !     I have only managed to compile one package so far - a very 
small
CLI editor for ID3 tags inside MP3 files.  Every other compilation I have 
tried
has failed with error messages, some including "something.2.3.x.something not 
found".
And, like Sindi, I have mixed libraries on my BL21 installations.

    That is why I am still a bit gun-shy.  My last attempt was a disaster.

Regards,
