No, it is a combination of configuration files in /etc, the
libraries and the program.  I wish I knew how to both reproduce and
fix this error because I have some systems that work and others that
don't.  I just get lost among the dynamic libraries that are
supposed to map (or not) depending upon the configuration files.

I suggest visiting the MontaVista ftp site, ftp.mvista.com, tracking
down the CDK 1.0 for the 8xx and loading those RPMs.  That is a
consistent set of programs, libraries, and configurations that work.
