Word Virus

Turns out, the Worpress 2.9 bug is actually caused by cURL.  If you’re a centOS user, the version of cURL that is available from all the repos is 7.15.5. The current version from cURL is 7.19.7.  The problem is, that there are lots of dependencies for later versions of cURL and libcURL to work on centOS 4 or 5, that are not found in the repos.  For now, I’m sticking with 7.15.5, as upgrading to 7.19.7 did not turn out so well on my server. As usual, I feel a lot more comfortable with a Debian box, instead of this RedHat derivative, but that’s what my hosting offered.  Once I get a little free time, I may actually try to get a more recent version of cURL working, but it won’t be this weekend.

I ordered a 1 TB drive for my 24″ iMac, and I’m going to be installing that this weekend.  Should be fun.
