Hi Mladen,

thanks very much for your reply. I tried nm and got a 45k listing of object files in the library and then it fails with

drlk2d.o: No symbols

        Malformed archive

So i guess your assumption is correct, the library is corrupt. I followed Puschitz steps on his site and didn't install any compat stuff for gcc as he suggests - i altered /etc/redhat-release to trick the installer into thinking it was RHAS 3 and the installed passed all of the other compatibility checks. So the question is - is the library really corrupt or is it a gcc compat issue?

Thanks Mladen.

kind regards

Pete
