Marcel,

Thanks for the information!  I had already gotten the latest cooker
libc5 rpm, but didn't know about the requirement for the ld.so rpm as
well.  I was able to find a cooker package for ld.so as well on
RPMFIND.  It was the LACK of the ld.so package that was causing the
installation problem.

Thanks again!

George
