They were built against FC8. My colleague has given me source compile instructions: you can get the sources either via version control or the nightly tarball: wget http://hipl.hiit.fi/hipl/hipl.tar.gz you can build on CentOS by executing: tar xvzf hipl.tar.gz cd hipl--main--2.6 ./autogen.sh ./configure make rpm ("make install" works too, but installs to /usr/local by default) Software requirements are listed here: http://infrahip.hiit.fi/hipl/manual/ch02.html > > You can't install FC8 packages (for example) directly on CentOS-5 ... > all the shared libraries are different, so the required things will > not exist. So I have learned.
