Still working on this one. I attempted to fix the non operating Gtk without apparent results: [root@localhost mail]# yum install Gtk2::GladeXML Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories http://ftp.ipv6.funet.fi/pub/mirrors/ftp.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (101, 'Network is unreachable')> Trying other mirror. updates-released 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments No Match for argument: Gtk2::GladeXML Nothing to do Also looking at the 'chown' comments re my setup and Luck's I presume I can change these settings (using the GUI) for the folders concerned by resetting the permissions properties to allow others to read/write Thanks, Ralph ZL1TBG
