Hi Raul, First, from a later message, it sounds like your affected system has other problems (possibly power supply related) that need to be resolved before you can worry about replacing the missing files. As far as re-installing the programs needed to extract any other missing packages, how about finding and copying the missing binaries from either the CD-ROM on which your Linux distro is located or another Linux box running the same distro? If you can copy from another similarly configured box, then you'll know where the replacement copy should be copied. :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raul A.
