Until it appears in fastbugs, one could probably use the centos packages. thank you very much!! I forgot mentioning that in CEntOS there was the 16 :-). and ask if I could use it. One of the issues I observed was that the packages updated(hence build) after the release of the 1.0.1e-15 depend on the new opessl library so by "protecting" I should also advice to exclude certain packages ( that for the moment we not use anyhow), like ruby. II'll take the "16" version for the moment. Thank youv ery much again, Cristina > Thanks for the heads up, > Stephan > >> Thank you very much, >> Cristina -- Cristina Aiftimiei Ist.
