Hi Kenneth,

    I went back into to my White Box Enterprise Linux 4 (same as
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, only cheaper) and installed the
"Developement Tools."  This cleared up the problem.

    Kind of annoying.  I could always rebuild rpm's without the
developemnt tools under WBEL 3.

Thank you for the tip.  It lead me to the solution.
