Show us what you did here.  Also show the errors you're seeing: they
might actually be worthwhile.


One infuriating part about programming is that, as you're debugging a
broken program, the number of problems you see being reported isn't
necessarily going down.  The *true* number of problems might, in fact,
be under-reported, due to limitations in our software tools.  So if you fix
one thing, and suddenly see a bunch of errors, that might actually mean
that you actually did fix one of the problems, but in doing so, exposed a
few other latent problems.

Or maybe not: maybe the "fix" really did make things worse.  :)

Show the folks here what you did.  We can help interpret what you're seeing.


Good luck!
