Can you fill in a few blanks for me?

What version of slackware are you using?  
Did you get 0.9.9c via slapt-get and if so can you share your slapt-getrc file?  
If you upgraded by hand, where did you get the package (what site and was it a package built
for your slack release)?  
What does $( ldd /sbin/slapt-get ) output?


thanks and take care,
jason
