The strange thing is that the basic desktop apps and network servers seem to work pretty well. It's just niche applications that crap out: vncserver segfaults, various compilation utilities bail out at certain programs. I was able to rebuild the newest Gaim src.rpm from sf.net, so it's not like compilation doesn't work at all. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
