Also, though, I'm not even sure if I installed ICU correctly. I downloaded the icu 4.2.1 tar, copied the containing folders into the /usr/local folder and ran /usr/local/bin/icu-config --install. Note: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/spidermonkey/lib64:/usr/local/lib/icu Thanks again, you guys have been helpful.
