Thanks Matthew

./configure
make
make install

I didn't get them all but I have now - thanks :)

I didn't know - I just installed apache, php and mysql from src so I 
assumed that this was the best way... I don't seriously know what I am 
doing so I noted your comment... thanks

Ok I got all the packages (rpm)

I used rpm -Uvh but the replacement gnome-keyring gave an error...

rpm -Uvh gnome-keyring-0.5.0-1.20060605cvs.fc5.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
         gnome-keyring = 0.4.9 is needed by (installed) 
gnome-keyring-devel-0.4.9-1.i386

So I did rpm -Uvh with gnome-keyring-devel-0.5.0-1.20060605cvs.fc5.i386.rpm

That installed ok and so did 
gnome-keyring-manager-2.14.0-3.20060605cvs.fc5.i386.rpm
and pam_keyring-0.0.8-2.fc5.i386.rpm

I tried
rpm -Uvh gnome-keyring-0.5.0-1.20060605cvs.fc5.i386.rpm again but it 
gave the same error

The instruction on the site to change the password is this...
/usr/libexec/pam-keyring-tool -c
but I just get the error
pam-keyring-tool: error retrieving default keyring

Thanks for your help
