Thanks, again, Roger!  It's making some sense.  I wonder why the 
compiler wasn't loaded when I installed Linux?  The RH9 CDs aren't 
from Redhat, I burned an ISO image from the net (linuxiso.org).  
Would that have anything to do with it?  In any case I'll try your 
suggestion tonight.

I really appreciate your help.
