Tried it, been there, done that, got the brain damage. Doesn't work. I think there was some symbol/function name incompatibility. As I said I suspect more of the Redhat dodgey compiler type scenario. RedHat is also known for tweaking the kernel with unpredictable results. -- ---------------------------------------------------- Regards, Zane Gilmore (Linux nerd since 1998) ____________________________________________________ Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.:- A.C.Clark ____________________________________________________
