Ugh that usually does not work in any sense. What I have done for immediate needs is to build a virtual machine with an OS version that the application is meant to work on. For a similar RPM environment I would go with Fedora 13. Otherwise I would look at using the RHEL-6 beta and seeing if that allows you to get it working. -- Stephen J Smoogen. “The core skill of innovators is error recovery, not failure avoidance.” Randy Nelson, President of Pixar University.
