Kwan,
I will give that a try.

John,
See my earlier post to Daniel. The source was recompiled into a 64 bit
9.2 rpm. Installed, but with problems.

Yep, that's where I got if from.

Robert,
The knoppix cd is 32 bit. Now 9.2 64 bit can play 32 bit apps. But if I
try to compile it would be in 64 bit form and fails ( I think). I'm
thinking that if I could compile it on a 32 bit machine and install the
rpm on my machine it would probably work.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I'll try a couple of the suggestions and see if I can lift it off
knoppix. If not I will just have to wait for the author to get around
to it. Any other suggestions are welcome.
Thanks Sluggers,
Bob S.
