Well, I have to admit that my first tries on my plain-but-updated RH5.0
box did not succeed either, but when I tried again with a new binary
from the RH site things magically started working. You say you
"reconfigured and recompiled"; so you are not using the RH rpm? I can't
remember which compiler flags might have been set or cleared, and I
can't find the message which I am vaguely recalling contained that info.

Can someone else remember??
