Kyle, You mention that you're compiling cdrecord on a RH 7.1 system. Where did you get the source? Is it from a SRPM, or did you get it from cdrecord's website? Is it a development snapshot? Have you tried using a precompiled rpm (or maybe even a .deb) package instead? =========================================== Lucas Vogel Technology Development Practice Exponent Failure Analysis Associates, Inc. http://www.fail.com ===========================================
