Known problem with Red Hat 5.1, I hope they do better with 5.2...

You need to get the glint upgrade rpm and install it by hand... Look for
the file named "glint-2.6.1-1.i386.rpm" on Red Hat's FTP site (It's
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/updates/5.1/i386/glint-2.6.1-1.i386 )

FTP the file, then in the directory where the file exists issue the
following command.

rpm -U glint-2.6.1-1.i386.rpm

Once you have installed this package, you will be in busniess with glint
again.  You might want to look at the updates for 5.1 and see if you
want any of the new packages.  They have some newer kernels and a
boatload of security updates...

Good luck.
