Well, there must have been a "configure" run at *some* point, in order to compile the thing in the first place. So I'm wondering if there's a mismatch between the setup on that box, and on yours. Perhaps another RPM that this RPM relies on, but isn't listed as an explicit dependency. > > If you run into that sort of problems, it's often worth > > uninstalling *both* sides, and re-running the configure, > > compile, install cycle, to get a clear setup. > > How do you uninstall? rpm -e ? Yes, but if you're wanting to work with a binary distribution, then that doesn't feel the right approach. I certainly wouldn't advise forcing this removal. It would feel more profitable to try and track down the missing system call(s). "hosts_ctl" sounds like part of the libwrap mechanism. I'm not sure if SuSE is the same, but on my RedHat box, this is provided by the "tcp_wrappers" RPM. Do you have that installed?
