of course, I have no idea if this is the right place to ask this, but I'm desperate to ask it some where! just the usual storory... I am working in Mac OS10.5, and installing packages from cvs using fink. Can someone here tell me what is causing the following error? tdoak@129-79-233-163:~$ hawkeye (02-25 13:29) Can't find 'boot_XML__Parser__Expat' symbol in /usr/local/amos-2.0.8/lib/libExpa t.dylib at /usr/local/amos-2.0.8/lib/XML/Parser.pm line 14 Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/amos-2.0.8/lib/XML/Parser.pm line 14 . BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/amos-2.0.8/lib/XML/Parser.pm lin e 18. Let's just say that I've been banging my poor head on this for days now. Cheers, Tom
