RHAS 2.1 is based off of RH 7.2, which is substantially older than RHL9. However, the RHL7.3 version SRPMS should rebuild with little to no problems: see ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.3/en/os/i386/SRPMS/autoconf253-2.53-3.src.rpm for the source rpm to feed rpmbuild --rebuild. The 7.3 RPM itself might install with no problems on RHAS2.1. The advantages of this RPM is that it can coexist with the 2.13 version; you call it as autoconf-253 instead of just autoconf (I've had to deal with this with PostgreSQL). -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
