(For those following along who are less familiar with Linux variants, Curt 
is asking about RedHat Enterprise Linux 4, which was recently released.)

We've only just begun testing with RHEL4 so our data is preliminary. That 
said, we believe that the current Condor 6.7.6 build should work fine on 
RHEL4 with a couple of caveats.

1) You want our "RedHat 9" binary.

2) It's dynamically linked against an older version of the gcc runtime 
libraries. Therefore you need to install the compatibility gcc package. I 
forget the name of this package, but I think there is a single RPM you can 
install that will get these for you.

We've tested on other Linux 2.6 kernel distributions like Fedora Core 3, so 
I'm optimistic that this will work.

We hope to do further testing to ensure that RHEL4 works properly. We're 
also debating the best way to avoid the problem I mentioned in #2.

Let us know how it goes,
