That would be a show stopper for me at work (if I were actually dumb |
| 16 |
enough to try that here). At work we don't have 'bos.net.nfs.server' |
| 17 |
installed. So, I guess for AIX, this could be a problem for someone |
| 18 |
who's an unpreviledged user. Then again, we don't have gcc installed |
| 19 |
either. |

I installed it at home, though and it got me going again. |

For some reason I have two versions of db being installed. Is that normal? |
