Technically...yes...this is off topic for in -here-, and would be something
more appropriate for -user , however, we will calmly look around and
see who the pre-release userbase is actually is, smile, pat each other
on the back... < grin>

'Documentation animal' -- if I can find and isolate a common cause
of problems running jazz++ on a specific distro, here mandriva 2008
is the focus, I will document it, cause, fix...etc...so the answer is there
-before- release time...I try to be ...'thorough' before the fact (which is 
very likely caused by my mechanic's mind outlook to assembly complex
machines ;-)

Perhaps they've modularized something that a lot of vendors
include as standard....but, yep, off topic here, will look at it
later, and if I find anything useful..see this discussion again 
as a docs patch ;-)
