Hi Pasha,
I have installed today Root under RedHat 5 with KCC_3_3 (machine
cdfpca).
I do not see any problems either during installation or when running the
tutorials suite or the big stress test program.
I also tested under RedHat 5 with egc1.1.1 and results are OK.
Could you try an installation from scratch starting from our current
development version on the web (2.20/05).
