Tom, Our Linux admin says "apperently 2.1.9x is considered part of version 2.2". Apparently this is just a string that is in the libc.so file that is checked. I tried some work arounds here, compiling in a runtime path search and placing the glibc in the $GEMLIB directory so that binaries get that version, but the system loader still has problems. So, this is sort of a dead end here... until after the user workshop which is monday-wednesday next week. Steve Chiswell Unidata User SUpport >From: "Thomas L.
