Loads of us have actually been running Red Hat 7.2 for a while now (not at NBI though), so a quick mail would have saved you guys loads of time. > Kris and I had checked out the Brat code ,and I the brag and it > seemed to work w/o problems.

While they are at it, updating the CAS and CRS, could they please install the following packages: autoconf-2.13-14 \ BRAT automake-1.4p5-2 / compat-egcs-6.2-1.1.2.16 \ compat-egcs-c++-6.2-1.1.2.16 + Better safe than sorry compat-egcs-g77-6.2-1.1.2.16 / cvs-1.11.1p1-7 - All freetype-2.0.3-7 \ ROOT freetype-devel-2.0.3-7 / libtool-1.4-8 - BRAT mysql-3.23.41-1 \ BRAT and ROOT mysql-devel-3.23.41-1 / Mesa-3.4.2-10 \ ROOT Build Mesa-devel-3.4.2-10 / tetex-1.0.7-38.2 \ tetex-dvips-1.0.7-38.2 | tetex-fonts-1.0.7-38.2 + For BRAT documentation, web tetex-latex-1.0.7-38.2 | publishing, etc. transfig-3.2.3d-2 / and perhaps build ROOT RPMs and install those too [2,3]. The GCC-3 packages would also be nice, as they can help us to prepare for a migration. gcc3-3.0.1-3 gcc3-c++-3.0.1-3 gcc3-g77-3.0.1-3 Finally, renaming the CRS nodes, so that the fastest machines has the lowest number would solve our current CAS inefficiency, and it's really not that hard to do. Also note, that HOME on CAS points to /home/bramreco, and not /brahms/u/bramreco. Yours, Christian Holm Christensen ------------------------------------------- Address: Sankt Hansgade 23, 1. th.
