After further reflection upon my HKL2000 post a few days ago, I felt I needed to clarify a few things and address some of the responses that I got to the post. Most of all, I think it necessary for me to offer my sysadmin an unqualified apology.
First off, in no way was my he impeding our ability to get our work done. I vented my frustration at HKL2000 not working at him instead of at HKL. His assessment of the situation was to get guidance from HKL as to how best to proceed. After waiting weeks for a response from them, some of the stop-gap measures that other users also seemed to think should work, appeared to me to be our only recourse in the short term. In the end, it turns out Suse isn't officially supported by HKL, which may explain the amount of time it took to hear back from them about it. Between Suse 10.2 and 10.3, compatibility with previous releases was eliminated, and so some of the solutions presented by other users weren't going to work, either. I neglected to mention the OS we were using, and it turns out this is important. Not mucking with the guts of the OS is probably a good call, and so even temporarily putting a library where it doesn't belong may solve the symptom, but it doesn't solve the problem. Finally, to end my mea culpa on a positive note, thanks for the helpful responses to those who sent them. Chris -- Dr. Christopher A.
