Dear Werner,

As far as I can see in our RedHat 5.1 and with the command 'ldd'
Midas executables are using /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40189000). I don't know
if the 'libc' used in other Linux distributions is different or 
incompatible to this one from RedHat.

Has anybody tried 98NOV in other Linux distribution than RedHat 5.1?

Carlos
