I've compiled SQUID from the source rpm but when I try to install the rpm I get an 'unsatisfied shellword.pl' error, even though shellwords.pl exists on the computer. Since I'm new to Linux (Mandrake 10.2) my solution has been to search the source files for a reference to shellword.pl. I found one reference so I decompressed the tar.bz2 file that contained this file, edited the 'required shellwords.pl' to prepend the path to Shellwords.pl. I then rebuilt the tar.bz2, recompiled SQUID and everything works OK. Mt thought is that there must be the equivalent of an environment setting, or path, or a way of telling the compiler at run time where shellwords.pl is. Otherwise I'm going to have to go through this process everytime a new stable version is released. Does anyone know how Linux deals with this? Thanks in advance Mark
