[hobbit] linux version

[Charles Jones]

Michael,

That looks good...if one of the libs was missing it would indicate it.  
My next guess would be webserver configuration issues (see my other 
email), and/or file permissions, like can the apache user access the 
files in your hobbit cgi-bin directory (test by su to the apache user 
and see if you can acesss the dir/files).
