[aclug-L] Re: Program needs libm.so.5

[Jesse Kaufman <kaufmjes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

did you d/l an rpm then?  may be a better idea to just compile from
source, that way, you're (mostly) guaranteed it will work w/ your system
config...  but if you want, try the other way first...  maybe it will work
for you...
