that version-2.9.1 is it not for my OS.
Am I right?
CentOS 4.4 is quite old at this point ...
The following Build Requirements for the SRPM I mentioned
earlier are not present pre se on a CentOS 4 platform (and are
readily available on a CentOS 5):
gcc-gfortran (workaround exists under another
package name)
texinfo-tex (workaround exists)
java-1.5.0-gcj (workaround exists)
lapack-devel (looks readily solveable, but not
present)
libSM-devel (present in xorg-x11-devel)
libX11-devel (present under another package name -
xorg-x11-devel)
libICE-devel (present in xorg-x11-devel)
libXt-devel (present in xorg-x11-devel)
libXmu-devel (present in xorg-x11-devel)
cairo-devel not present, has a shifting API, and
is hard to solve in CentOS 4
Hope this helps -- moving to CentOS 5 series will make life
much simpler for you, and it a fairly painless upgrade
