Great suggestion, Wesley, BUT, as usual, I had troubles I 
worked on only for a couple of hours before sending this:
When performing the make command in order to install 
libusb, required by the new gphoto, I get the following error 
message (attached).  
So I tried to track down the missing lgcc_s library and in the process
discovered that it occurs in several situations but none of the
complaints
gave a solution.  I found by the way an rpm for libusb but that failed
with
"read manifest failed", whatever that means.  I then brought down the
tar.gz
version of libusb for which ./configure worked fine but make failed as
shown
in the attachment.
Finding a libgcc rpm package, I hoped it had contained a lgcc_s library,
but
I can't install that rpm because it needs ld-linux-ia64.so.2  AND
libc.so.6.1 ...  There must be an easier way??  Any suggestions?

	Nearing the end of the rope,   Ralph
