After giving up on trying to get a working version of ZM via the LiveCD installer (all worked fine when running from the CD), i decided the somewhat more complex method of installation.

I successfully installed mandriva SE 2005 and got a dual boot system working.

when i try and install 1.21.3 of the mdk 10.1 version i get unsatisfied perl (X10::Activehome)) error

If i install X10-0.03-1 i get and unsatisfied perl(Time::ParseDate)) error

going round in circles
many thanks

You will need to chace the depenancies all the way back. here are the Perl packages you need to have.
perl(DBI)
perl(Date::Manip)
perl(Time::HiRes)
perl-IO-stringy(IO::Stringy)
perl-MIME-tools(MIME::Tools)
perl-MailTools(Mail::Tools)
perl-TimeDate(Time::Date)
perl-Unicode-Map
perl-Unicode-String
perl-DBD-mysql(DBD::Mysql)

You can find a list here:

And of course the extra RPMs for Mandriva is here:

It of course is easier to use yum as it tracks down the dependancies for you and selects the required packages for install.

Thanks Cordel

It's so fustrating to have a working system when running the LiveCD, only to have a broken system after running the installer app.

Out of desperation i am currently installing Fedora Core 4 to see if that distro is any better for my particular issues. Chances are i'll have the same problems -

Anyway, thanks for the tips and i'll report back to let everyone know who it's going.

You will find FC4 to be somewhat more challenging as php5 is used and you must configure the zend engine to be backwards compatible with zend1, some of the other packages mostly for perl you have to build yourself, and there is something else but I don't remember what at the moment
When it comes to me I'll update the thread.

mnnnn, not up to all that so i'll start with a clean install on Mandriva limited Edition 2005 and have another go using YUM

thanks for you help
