Hi, Tom.

Sorry, I can get the complete log tomorrow - it's on my work PC, not my
home. I clearly made insufficient notes, for which I apologize :(

Not sure about permissions on libraries. We just open up a session under
root and execute yum install <blah blah>, and that has always worked in
the past. Not sure what I'd need to check? I can perhaps ask our
friendly neighbourhood UNIX sysadmin to check those?

We did install openldap and openldap-devel, however:

yum install pam-devel
yum install libxml2-devel
yum install libxslt-devel
yum install openldap
yum install openldap-devel
yum install uuid-devel
yum install readline-devel
yum install openssl-devel
yum install libicu-devel
yum install uuid-devel
yum install gcc
yum install make

Regards,

M.
