No.  This box had a hard drive failure.  Since I had to replace the 
drive, I upgraded to 6.0 at that time.

Been Googling all day and I've seen those posts.  However I just 
realized it was you.  :)

I just edited the Makefile to add --without-zlib and am recompiling 
now.  We'll see if that works around this problem for now.  But I'd sure 
like to know why things aren't working on my machine?  AFAIK, I did a 
standard install and haven't done much with the box since.  It just 
serves as my gateway router for my home network so there's not much on it.

Thanks,

Drew
