I think the easiest would be to download their binary tar.gz (what they call 'Linux downloads', the first option in their download page). I know our DBA installed it more-or-less smoothly on RH73. Not always RPMs are less work. Unless it's a trivial package, I tend to install RPMs only from the distributor. Packages that have such binary, location independent tar.gz's (such as tomcat, java, mozilla, etc.) are very often easier to install than RPMs. If the problems are real, e.g. if their binary tar.gz does need a shared lib you don't have (or a newer one), you _will_ get into trouble, though. -- Didi ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
