I understand completely. The fault is all mine, I should have done 
better research beforehand. I even struggle with the same problem at 
work, with roles reversed. :(

No, I just never got around to it to be honest. At some point the 
various install scripts broke, due to the move to git, and the task of 
manually compiling and installing all the old stable packages was hard 
to justify in the work schedule. RHEL wouldn't be my first choice for a 
personal distro in any case.

I took heed of your advice and started to compile EFL 1.8.2 but it 
ultimately fails during configure due to an old version of libudev in 
RHEL 6.5:

   configure: Start Eeze checks
   configure: error: pkg-config missing libudev >= 148

No help from RedHat:

   # yum info libudev | grep Version
   Version     : 147

I can't try out the RHEL 7 preview due to company policies. I see the 
change to udev version introduced in 2013-01-03 by Gustavo Sverzut 
Barbieri. I guess eeze-1.7.4 ought to work.

I will have to put this off till after the holidays due to time 
constraints. Either way we have established that RHEL isn't the best 
platform for e17 (or 18) and I thank you for your help. I will most 
certainly pester you some more in the future. At least for another 14-15 
years. :)

Cheers!
