Thanks for the info.
Adding the ld.so-1.9.5-11.i386.rpm and libc-5.3.12-31.i386.rpm etc librarys
worked.
Sorry I misled you with the updating, this was a fresh install with our
additional RPMS
and local partitions added. We always "update" our systems by performing a
fresh
install and add our changes.
We must have been using Redhat 4.2 rather than 5.1 when we produced that
package
then, time does fly ...
Cheers to all for the help.
