Christof,

Thank you for 
a) taking the time to look at this :-)
b) your answer :-(

Which was was I was afraid of. It's something that is happening here
only. By way of background, we are trying to move away from the distro
we have used for perhaps a decade or more (PCLinuxOS) which is a
rolling release rpm based system to something more "cough" stable. The
reason being that the recent upstream updates to Xorg have been
disastrough for our purposes. So, at the moment I am trying to see if
we can base the co-op on Mint. I was attracted to the Cinnamon desktop.

Fine for me but when I started to migrate our stuff to our source code
server all kinds of stuff has hit the proverbiable "air movement
device".

For your interest I have attached a copy of the little project that
looks at what components are installed. It would probably need a bit of
tender care (with a hammer) to get it to run on whatever your system
is. I have also attached a picture of the madness I am trying to set up
in terms of custom control components and libraries. 

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!
After a reboot the component checker is now working perfectly
correctly.

I may have to go and sit in the corner under a warm blanket for a
while. >:-)

Rather than put us all through the email poisons, the code for that
project is simply:


' Gambas module file

''' This is for checking which Paddys-Hill components have been
installed.

Public Sub Main()

  Dim hComp As Component
  Dim aList As String[]
  Dim idx As Integer
  Dim sComp As String
  
  ' For Mint!
  Dim sPath As String = "/lib/gambas3"
  
  aList = Dir(sPath, "ph*.Gambas")
  aList.Sort
  ' Print aList.Join("\n")

  For idx = 0 To aList.Max
    sComp = File.BaseName(aList[idx])
    If Not Component.IsLoaded(sComp) Then
      Print "*";
      Try Component.Load(sComp)
      If Error Then
        Print "!"; ' Error.Text
        Error.Clear
      Endif
    Endif
    Print idx + 1, sComp ', Components[sComp].Version
  Next
  
End

thanks again
bruce
