Hi All,

I am having trouble installing the sm package, and only the sm package.
My box is RedHat 7.3 on a PIV. Readline 4.3-3 is installed (suited for
RH 8, but same error under readline 4.2 for RH 7.3), but it seems to be
looking for the readline library in the wrong directory. Will installing
readline 4.1 do the trick? What else could be done?
