Hi,

I just upgraded to mol-0.9.63, and now I can't start mol.

When I try, it says

[root@echo /root]# startmol
Loading Mac-on-Linux kernel module:
   /usr/lib/mol/0.9.63/modules/2.4.19-pre7-ben0/mol.o
Loading SheepNet ethernet kernel module:
   /usr/lib/mol/0.9.63/modules/2.4.19-pre7-ben0/sheep_net.o

So it's loading the (correct) modules and then telling me that they 
aren't loaded...

I get the same message when I try to run

/usr/lib/mol/0.9.63/bin/mol

so the message comes from the binary, not the startmol script.

I'm running a 2.4.19-pre7-ben0 kernel, as you can see above.

Thanks for any help. I can poke around in the sources if necessary, but 
I thought I'd stop and ask questions first :-)

I think I'll downgrade to my previous (working) version, 0.9.60, as an 
intermediate measure.

Ben.
