It might be just needing a relink of some modules after installation. I'll see 
if I can find someone who knows what is needed so we don't have to investigate 
this ourselves. I hope these modules are our own, because what I understand 
from reading into it, my particular problem comes from a wrongly linked gnu cpp 
install - which is from a yum install on a Virtual Box CentOS appliance - odd.

The commercial - IBM - software that I installed lately does not seems to 
suffer this problem, so we might need to relink, or link more statically into 
the modules.

Yes, that is the sensible thing to do - I mimicked the naive user here, like I 
think the way my dad would install it. Still I do not like all the implications 
of this - this is a serious programming product and I am seriously offended by 
the tone of some of these messages. So we should do something about it.

Ok, I will inform the board and will try to free budget for this - I hope Rony 
is right and we could get it for free.

best regards,
