The likelyhood that those prebuilt packages for RHL will work on any SPARC linux distribution is slim to none. Even if they were built for the last released version of RHL SPARC (6.2), most of the libraries included in that release were long ago retired. And if they weren't built for SPARC, then you're in for an even more unpleasant suprise. Unless they're perl or python script apps... ~spot -- Tom "spot" Callaway || Red Hat || Fedora || Aurora || GPG ID: 93054260 "We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.
