Thanks Andrew,

I have the sources but am reluctant to compile on opera,
as opera is a linux 2.0.33 machine - I'm advised the binary
I got for i386 linux would be enough...

Here's the report from the strings command you mentioned,

>[erazmus@opera /u3/e/erazmus]$ strings ./wget | grep lib        
>/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1                                        
>libintl.so.1                                                    
>libssl.so.2                                                     
>SSL_library_init                                                
>libcrypto.so.2                                                  
>libc.so.4                                                       
>/usr/lib

I'm really new to linux - can I load the required libraries
into my home dir and have wget point to them there ?
