The package you just installed doesn't have it. Ubuntu 7.04 with python 2.5.1 and lxml 1.1.2 was one of the distros I checked (and by far the best Linux system of the bunch), and it isn't up to the job at hand. =09=09=09http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more informatio= n.
