I am not using pre4.  If somewhere I mentioned that then it was by
mistake only.  Nor am I sure that I have ever rebuilt the packages.

Unfortunately not.  I assume you are using the autoconf way of building
the packages, right?  If so, then I can only assume that either pre4 is
"funny", or that Fedora1 is missing stuff or some stuff has changed on it.
I realize that you would not want to use RH9, since it is not "supported"
anymore, but it may be the way to go for you.  Fedora 2 is not another option,
since it uses 2.6 kernels and these are not yet supported by bproc.

Have you tried to use the stock clustermatic 4?  Why would you absolutely
need a newer kernel?

Regards,
Daniel
