2.4.42? I don't believe that exists unless Marcelo has been very very busy. 2.4.32 maybe. I myself am running 2.4.29 on a 7.3 box, however there are several kernel utilities that have to be replaced in order to move up to the newer 2.4 kernels even on a 7.3 box. kernelutils and mod-utils come to mind. There was a howto available on the web back then. Is your app married to that older version of ?glib? If the srcs are available, it might be just a simple recompile, but I don't have a hand anywhere near the good book when I say that. However that brings up the subject of the compiler version, itself another huge can of worms. >Thank you. >Valery > > > >____________________________________________________ >Sell on Yahoo!
