You could do that too, of course.

Uh? <glances at emailaddress> <blushes> Ah. Whoops. Sorry, since I didn't know you, I went into explain-to-newbie mode. Never mind ;-) > I could of course build it by hand. Sure. > A binary that works would obviously be more convenient ;-) Sure. If you could try the stable version first (stable has glibc 2.2), I'll try to compile you the unstable version in a potato chroot. If it still doesn't work with that, you're out of luck :-P -- wouter at grep dot be "An expert can usually spot the difference between a fake charge and a full one, but there are plenty of dead experts." -- National Geographic Channel, in a documentary about large African beasts.
