You're right. It seems the last work was in Dec-06. If the rpm is no joy, you could check it out of the CVS server and compile perhaps: http://www.w3.org/Library/cvs.html#Releases Although the ubuntu package is using 5.4.0 (~2003) and the latest is 5.4.1 (2006). Might be safer to go with 5.4.0. But I'm not an expert - just had a look at it. -- Daniel Bush http://blog.web17.com.au http://github.com/danielbush -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
