Apparently you don't remember this error on the Windows
2000 machine and what you did to fix it then. ;-)

I should point out that this is a perfect question for 
the email archives.  You would have seen plenty of references
and the likely solution.

Install the 'rebase' package.  Run 'rebaseall'.  A simpler 
fix you couldn't ask for. :-)
