I did not realize that, but I have an RPM for RHL9 already and it will
not even install unless I load a *lot* of libraries from RHL9. And since 
this is a RHES 3 machine, they seem to be flakey in the other 
environment. The Transaction Report, in particular, does not work. At 
this point, my guess is that I will have to pick up the source and start 
building. Then pick up source libraries for whatever else is missing and 
hope that the stuff already there is OK, neither too new nor too old.

One thing I will not do is remove a RHEL 3 library and put something 
else in its place.
