Perfect! Thank you. Same issue then occurred with zlib and I installed the dev pieces and it worked too. Might be a good idea if the documentation listed these somewhere as prereqs. In the past all the servers I have worked on had these installed already but this one is a bit basic. Regards, and again, thanks.
