  Nope, thats not it either, tail end of perl -V follows, along with pwd
and ls -ld FS

Characteristics of this binary (from libperl):
  Built under linux
  Compiled at May 16 1999 10:06:00
  @INC:
    /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i586-linux
    /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503
    /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i586-linux
    /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005
    .
[root at paranoia 5.005]# pwd
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005

[root at paranoia 5.005]# ls -ld FS/
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           34 May 16 13:14 FS ->
/home/freeside/fs-1.2.1/site_perl/

   Perl, apache, mysql, and the CPAN modules were all compiled from
source, I didn't want to chance the RedHat distro for that stuff... I dont
know if this could be related to 2.2.x kernels or not... (I wouldn't think
so, but I've been wrong about this kind of stuff before)  maybe I'll
experiment with a hardlink, or copying the files...

RedHat 6.0
Kernel 2.2.5-15

  Has anyone had success with FreeSide on this platform?

Paul
