But you are expecting an app designed and built for RH 8 would work on RH 9. Given that so much has changed in RH 9, give Ximian some time to rebuild and I am sure they will offer what you need. I mean RH 9.0 hasnt even been released to the general public yet so give them some time. Do you expect RH to examine the previous versions of literally thousands of programs to see if they are backwards compatible? They are only going to guarantee the packages they ship with will work.

Ximian didn't change things RH did so it follows that for the sake of happy customers (read: those who keep them in business) it would make sense for RH to be certain that the thousands of customers who use common non-RH Linux apps with their OS are not unduly inconvenienced by changes that they make. (Or at least to make certain that those they are asking to upgrade know what may be broken if they pays their money and loads their upgrade.) Hardly an unreasonable expectation of a business that expects customers to trust them and to keep coming back to spend their money. doc On Fri, 2003-04-04 at 10:53, Richard Humphrey wrote: > It seems to me IMHO that it is up to Ximian to verify wether or not one of > their progs work on a given OS.
