Yes, it's working, clue came from Michael who mentioned 'lib' as part of the
files structure for anonymous ftp.

It seems that RedHat requires the following libraries in /home/user/lib
        ld-2.0.5.so
        ld-linux.so.2 ---> linked to ld-2.0.5.so
        libc-2.0.5.so
        libc.so.6 ---> linked to libc-2.0.5.so

I took a peek at RedHat's file structure for anonymous ftp  ;-)

thanks again to Michael and Igmar for continued ideas

Graham
