As of YFKlog 0.3.0, the Hamlib Perl bindings are used instead of
calling 'rigctl' via system(). This is a much cleaner way to use
HamLib, but apparently the Perl bindings are causing a lot of
trouble. I had difficulties to compile HamLib with them myself,
the Debian package seems to be broken, etc.

The error above looks similar to that which the broken debian package
produces, but I don't really know the reason for it.

HamLib now (as of 1.2.7, Feburary 2008) comes with rigctld, a little
daemon which should make it much easier and reliable to access HamLib
from Perl. I am going to add this to the next version of YFKlog, and
hope that this will be the final solution for Hamlib.
