If you run a Linux distribution that uses rpm-style 
packages, you should download and install the package 
http://lz1bb.bfra.org/wsjt/wsjt-5.9.6.r309-2.i586.rpm 
prepared by LZ1BB.  This package has been confirmed to work 
on Mandriva 2007, Fedora Core 5, and Suse 10.1. Harry has 
also made a convenient package of the WSJT source code, 
available at 
http://lz1bb.bfra.org/wsjt/wsjt-5.9.6.r309-2.src.rpm .

The number of Linux WSJT users is relatively small, but 
growing.  If you have any problems installing any of these 
packages, please let us know: we want to get any bugs out of 
the distribution system.

With best wishes to all for the New Year,

The rpm distro is good news Joe.

I had the devil's own game installing from source.  Seems that one needs an `everything` ~and then some~ installation!
It was taking too long, so I put it aside.  
I'll go with the rpm this weekend.  I hope Harry has got all his deps in a row ;)

Running CentOS 4.4 (2.6 kernel) on a medium-range P4.
I'll let you know...

Many thanks
