Thanks, Tom and Steven. Steven, it is really so.5 that my CFMX 6.1 is looking for. I've read the tip on checking which rpm provides which on some other forum, and the libs I need comes from the openssl package. The openssql-9.7f which comes with FC4 has the so.5 libs, the openssl that comes with FC5 does not have the so.5, it has so.6 and so.4 but no so.5s whatsoever. FC5 does not have the openssl-9.7f.
Does anyone here have successfully ran CFMX 6.1 on FC5? I am inferring that CFMX 7 can install on FC5, but not CFMX 6.1, the same way that a Postgres installer for FC4 won't install on FC5. I read from somewhere that I need to make an so.5 link that points to some other so's. I haven't tried, though. I am not very familiar with the library files. Thanks anyways. >Please confirm the name of the missing library. I believe it may be >libc.so.6 not .5. > >Using the rpm command it can be determined which package should have >installed a file.

Checking Fedora package list I see it has 2.4-11 >(ref 2), and it does appear that 2.4-11 should have installed libc.so.6 >(ref 3).
