Here is the results of gcc --version: gcc32 --version gcc32 (GCC) 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-47.fc4) I am not sure how I can get the installer to use this version instead of the 4.X version. Any ideas? The simplest approach: 1. Become root. Find your gcc version 4.x (probably in /usr/bin). Move it to some innocuous name ("mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.0.1"). 2. Create a symlink between gcc and gcc32: "ln -s /usr/bin/gcc32 /usr/bin/gcc" 3. Become a normal user again. Then try re-running the CD installer. Stuart, Is there a reason to run the CD as a normal user?  I have been using root up to now... Doug
