I use quite a variety of Linux distributions in the course of my work (I am a freelance developer and remote administrator), and I have not gotten RedHat 7.0 binaries to work on any of them (I have tried). None of the systems I administer runs RedHat 7.0 or Woody, so I cannot comment on how packages from one run on the other. However, from everything I have heard the problem is primarily a gcc one, so I suspect that Woody and RedHat 7.0 are not compatible. -- Harry Henry Gebel, ICQ# 76308382 West Dover Hundred, Delaware
