Welcome to Linux, and an unstable ABI between versions ;) For example, Solaris has binary compatibility from Solaris 2.3 to 9.0, no such luck with Linux. I suggest you upgrade in steps as recommended by the release notes, major upgrades are rarely supported in big jumps like you're attempting. -- Brent Jones br...@servuhome.net _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
