4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 were released a few months apart in 2005, built with 
kernel 2.6.9.   why are you installing 8 year old software on a new system ?

if you absolutely have to run a EL4 derivative, at least run 4.9, which 
was released in 2011, but be aware there have been no security fixes for 
it since a year ago.
