Hi Launhead,

We do not have RHEL5 in-house yet, although we are setting it up in response to your message. If you look at the "preinstall" scripts for other distros, you will see that they install a package called "libtool-ltdl-devel", or "libltdl3-dev". This is what your installation is missing. It is a standard package Linux distributions, but is not installed by default. Can you use RHEL5's package manager (I think it is called up2date?) to try to install this package (and actually, installing all the other packages in the "preinstall-centOS5" script might head off other install problems)?

Regards,
Andrew Stone
