Yes it could be a nightmare, so be very careful especially if this is a production box, but may be you could do the following ............ 1) check if your system is up-to-date , try running "up2date" and see if there is a more recent version of glibc and other related packages from redhat 2) or try "rpm -Uvh or rpm -Fvh " ( basically you are upgrading/Freshen'ing the packages) 3) if you have a test box at home, try the upgrade on it first , just play with it 4) install a new OS as RH 7.2 is too old, may be RH9 or Fedora , or Cent OS, Ubuntu Just my 2 cents Kishore Jalleda On 2/28/06, Magee, Fred (MRC) <fred.magee@xxxxxxx> wrote: > > Good morning, List. > > > > I need to install Matlab R14SP2 on a system running RH7.2.
