Hi I believe I have a shell account on the same machine - and since it doesn't have a compiler on it you presumably got the binary from elsewhere. I suspect it requires binaries that opera (the machine) is lacking; you can see what library files are required with something like: strings ./wget | grep lib Then make sure all of those libraries are on the system (look in /lib, /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib). If not, it won't work and you'll get an error as above. In particular, watch out for things like the right libc, and the ssl libraries (it may be easier for you to find a copy of wget compiled without ssl..) -- Andrew Francis [EMAIL PROTECTED]
