Yes, it's working, clue came from Michael who mentioned 'lib' as part of the
files structure for anonymous ftp.
It seems that RedHat requires the following libraries in /home/user/lib
ld-2.0.5.so
ld-linux.so.2 ---> linked to ld-2.0.5.so
libc-2.0.5.so
libc.so.6 ---> linked to libc-2.0.5.so
I took a peek at RedHat's file structure for anonymous ftp ;-)
thanks again to Michael and Igmar for continued ideas
