note also the following which is a total confusion: redhat packages LPRng on their own with the latest release being LPRng-3.7.4-23 . while binaries compiled for 7.x exists, the sources cannot be downloaded from their servers, at least till yesterday. if you now go to patrick powells site (developer of LPRng) located at http://www.astart.com/LPRng/LPRng.html you will find that the latest release of LPRng he offers there is LPRng-3.7.4-1 (in rpm format) and LPRng-3.7.4.tgz (src) the questions are: what are the differences between the version offered by redhat and the version offered by patrick powell? has the rpm offered on the lprng site also the same problems as the redhat one (advisory RHSA-2001:077-05)? if you are using redhat 6.x and use LPRng you cannot use the rpms provided by redhat since they are for rh 7.x. you will run into incompatibilities. will then upgrading to version LPRng-3.7.4-1 from the lprng site solve the problems? little detail is that the rpms provided on the lprng site wont work because of dependencies. you will have to get the src rpm and rebuild it. then they will install. cheers, h. ps: note also that if you grab the src rpm from the lprng site and try to rebuild the rpm for alpha arch it will bomb and not compile, i.e if you have an alpha with rh 6.x and need LPRng you are stuck with a 3.6.x version... _________________________________________________________ Helmut G.
