</div>I have just looked at CentOS 5.5 which should be based on RHEL 5.5. It<br>
contains /usr/lib64/<a href="http://libc.co" target="_blank">libc.co</a> and /usr/lib/libc.so, I do not see any<br>
other libc.so.* under /usr<br>
<br>
I can try to build XeTeX on it.<br>

<br>I won't get back to the RHEL 5.9 machine until April, by which time I'm hoping we will upgrade to RHEL 6 (waiting on a vendor to support RHEL 6). <br><br>-- <br></div><div>George N. White III <br></div></div></div>
