Thanks for the info regarding rebuilding the Red Hat's AS2.1
I tried it but, I get an error in the process of rebuilding the SRPMs. The error is:
-------- snip --------
rkc.c:57:25: sglobal.h: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [rkc.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/Canna35b2/lib/RKC'
make[1]: *** [install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/Canna35b2/lib'
make: *** [install] Error 2
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.99299 (%install)
RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.99299 (%install)

-------- snip --------
What package(s) did I miss?
Thanks,
Andy
