Trouble with ports

[Peter Elsner]

Try installing (if you haven't already) the compatibility libs...

I've seen that error before, and after installing them, the error goes away.

Just a suggestion, not sure if it will actually work.

I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's
too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about. I worry
that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say "Daddy, where
were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?"

Unix IS user friendly... It's just selective about who its friends are.
System Administration - It's a dirty job, but somebody said I had to do it.
