I downloaded those from the site you gave me, used rpm -Uvh to install them all, and amidst all the hash marks rpm makes while installing it seg faulted. I tried just doing an rpm -q after that and that seg faulted. Nothing is working, complains about memory something or other. I rebooted (had to hit the power button to do it) and now my machine won't boot. It just keeps saying:
INIT: Id "4" respawning too fast. Disabled for 5 minutes. For Id's 1-6 or so. Thanks Frank! Just kidding. I'm starting to think this machine has hardware problems. One of the reasons I switched to redhat is because autofs (what we use for auto-mounting home directories as needed) seemed to be causing problems with Mandrake. I've had to hit the power button a couple times with redhat too now, and it doesn't seem related to autofs. So frustrating. Thanks for letting me vent.

It shipped with a version that was missing some compatibility stuff: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2003-136.html If that isn't the problem, it may help to see the output of 'ldd' on whatever executable you're running.
