The 1.14 included in RHEL4 should be ok. See http://www.redhat.com/advice/speaks_backport.html When dealing with RHEL (or CentOS, WB, Tao, etc.), version numbers are not enough to determine problems. That being said, rebuilding the 1.15.1 srpm from Fedora works fine as well. Matt -- Matt Hyclak Department of Mathematics Department of Social Work Ohio University (740) 593-1263
