Rick, ld.so.conf did the trick. I was not aware of that particular config file (I'm a old SunOS -> Solaris -> IRIX -> and now Linux hack). Obviously learning as I go... but this one really had me stumped, because I missed how the lib path was controlled. Now I need to figure out if removing that path will cause other issues... like with Networker... To answer your questions: I wasn't sure what information would be pertinent. Yes, this is RHEL 4 (nahant). I did a "full" update, and I should have put it that way. You're right, I made it sound like I only updated the kernel and libs - not what I had intended. Thanks for the response. It helped a lot! dave <div>On 9/13/06, Rick Stevens <<a href="mailto:rstevens@vitalstream.com">rstevens@vitalstream.com </a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">On Wed, 2006-09-13 at 08:14 -0700, dave first wrote: > Folks, this one has me stumped, and I could use your help figuring > this out. > > I was running kernel and libs at, > > Linux 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL > > > And after updating the kernel and libs, and a reboot for good measure, > we're at, > > Linux 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL Which distro are you running?

No LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set by default, but even if I set one, > and exclude /usr/nsr/lib, it doesn't matter. Same problem. That's quite weird. Not even the latest FC5 has a GCC 4.2.0. It's at 4.1.1. > Okay, I admit it. I'm stumped. Ideas anyone???? Did you do a full update? Why just the kernel and libraries? You really should do a full update. The libraries are actually controlled by the /etc/ld.so.conf file, not LD_LIBRARY_PATH. You might try editing that file and commenting out the /usr/nsr/lib path, then running "ldconfig -v" and verifying that it isn't included anymore. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer <a href="mailto:rstevens@vitalstream.com">rstevens@vitalstream.com</a> - - VitalStream, Inc. <a href="http://www.vitalstream.com">http://www.vitalstream.com</a> - - - - I haven't lost my mind.
