Thanks for the reply.
But here is the problem. The srpm is for version 2.0.7-13, not
2.0.7-19 which is what I currently have and I don't want to mess
with the libs I have installed already. Is there a convenient way
to install just the source files that anyone knows of. Is it just
a matter of a couple of directories worth or is it a variety of
directories which are involved? I don't know why the redhat rpm
doesn't install the source files along with the libs?
Perhaps I should remove the libs and install fresh 2.0.6 from gnu itself.
Are there any problems with 2.0.6?? Am I getting into trouble here?
