Well, if you have the PATH set correctly in links.cfg, it should find it. From admin.cgi we find this:

Code:
require "links.cfg"; # Change this to full path to links.cfg if you have problems.
require "$db_lib_path/db.pl"; # Database Routines.






<AHEM!! THIS FORUM HAS A TENDENCY TO REMOVE ANYTHING BELOW A {code}
SECTION---SO HERE IT IS AGAIN!>

Do like the first line says, and put your FULL PATH to links to links.cfg there. It will look vaguely like: "/full/path/to/cgi-bin/links/admin/links.cfg" with the "full/path/to" being info specific to your host. Also, be sure that the PATHS are set right IN links.cfg, and that you put a PATH where it should be, and an URL where it should be. Hope that helps...
