20000628: RedHat 6.2 and Gempak

Michael,

The problem you have sounds familiar to when everyone upgraded
from 5.x to 6.1- eg the glibc changes the stdio/stderr usage,
so binaries compiled with 5.x are not upward compatible.
Thas a general egcs/gcc problem they sprung on everyone.

The Linux binaries I have posted for pl16 are compiled and
linked with RH 6.1. Are you using this patch level, or something earlier? 
Or have you compiled the distribution yourself under 6.2?
