Look for Mandrivas perl-devel (or devel-perl or such) package. I guess it's in there (it's there with Fedora 7). BTW, It's EXTERN.h, not EXPORT.h ;-) --shmem _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.

Ty Tower Yes Thanks It is EXTERN.h and it should be in the Mandriva 2007 release but it is not . I suspect there are a few other files missing too on the installation disk I d/l a new tar ball and installed it over the top . Now works fine Cheers	[reply]

I can't find an `EXPORT.h` file in any of my perl installations, and it's not part of bleadperl either. Maybe you could tell us exactly what you did (compile which package; what's the whole error message)?	[reply] [d/l]
