The commands should all work fine. You're confusing the CMSFS utility from the CMSFS driver. They are independent. The driver lets you mount CMS disks. The utility lets you read them, or read files from them, without mounting them. The commands should be statically linked against their common library. That would be "cmsfs.a". It's "cmsfs.o" you said is missing, not " cmsfs.a" nor "cmsfs.so". If the commands were linked against the shared library, it would be the ".so" form. More likely, they were linked against the static library, which is the ".a" form which would have been deleted before the RPM was generated. Historically, kernel modules were named ".o". More recently they are named ".ko" because the other extension has meaning apart from kernel space. There should be no "cmsfs.o" at all if you are running an up-to-date Linux. You might find "cmsfs.ko" (not likely since it is broken) or possibly "cmsfs.so" (not likely unless the distributor got waaaay too deep into the code), but no "cmsfs.o". I hope this helps. -- R; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
