Hello, I have been using yum to successfully update the FC3 installation on my Dell laptop for a few months, but now I've run into some problems. I was running yum a couple of days ago, and one of the packages to be updated was python-2.3.4-13.1. After I told yum it was OK to update the packages it had selected for update, I walked away for a few minutes only to return and find all sorts of unintelligible characters scrolling across the terminal as if yum had gotten itself into some sort of infinite loop. I couldn't stop things with Ctrl-C or Ctrl-D, so I closed the Gnome terminal window. Now when I try to run yum, I get the following error message: /usr/bin/python: error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.3.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: Error 40 I'm still not much more than a novice Linux user, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike Detwiler
