Thanks Marco, personally I thought the subject line was quite descriptive but I take your point on board.
I am still mystified as the error is claiming that ssh was compiled with 1.0.1a whilst I have 1.0.0f, the strange thing being that I have 1.0.0g instead. Still, that's likely to be a shared library issue and that's something I CAN sort out myself.
