[Dxspider-support] DXSpider install problem

[Dirk Koopman]

DB-File seems to have become optional, sometimes. In Mandrake always
check to see, when you see a message like this, whether there is a
precompiled package thus:

$ su
# urpmi -y db_file (or whatever/some part of what it says is missing)

in this case it will probably load it automatically, but it may ask you
choose if it finds more than one.

urpmi is really quite good...
