In itself not a problem, but you might find that libc is an incompatibly different version, which would be a pain. But, give it a try. Worst case, it fails with a linker error straight away. (And you MAY be able to just copy in some libraries from the other system.) ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
