You didn't say so, but you're working on HP-UX - and I think 10.20 rather than 11.00 or 11i (the version is not definitive). Unless you're using the optical storage manager (iosm07a.sl) or a modified version of the HPL libraries (ipldd07a.sl), you should be OK with either the old or the new versions of those libraries. Given that the 'mv' failed, I'm dubious about whether the 'Linking' and 'Previous version' messages are accurate. OTOH, I don't think any harm will have been done either - at least, until you delete the 7.31.UC2A version and the symlinks in /usr/lib are then left broken. At that point, you'd have to go remove the broken links and replace them with unbroken ones pointing to the newer 7.31.UD1 directory. -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2003.04 -- http://dbi.perl.org/
