Bingo, oh wise one!

Ouch! 

Thanks a ton Glenn! I have been fighting this off and on through every
upgrade I've done. All because I had a problem with an install about a year
ago and strayed from Julian's install script and installed from someone
else's RPMs. Then when that didn't work well I went back to Jule's script.
Thought I had got rid of everything back then but obviously not!

I'll figure this *nix thing out eventually! :)

Thanks to everyone who responded.

Kind regards,
Ken
