Thanks to all who responded. At least now I know what a "magic number"
is!!! Hmmmm......OK
Daniel,
Let's see if I can provide the info you need to help me.

Don't know. The file was downloaded and installed by apt-get on SuSE8.2
Never even got to look at it. Not sure how I would determine that. It
was not a .src.rpm so I doubt that it built a .spec file.

No, as stated it came directly from the SuSE archives via apt.

OK Daniel, my python is 2.2.2-92 The pysol is 4.81-191
I also have a later version of pysol (4.82-28) which I downloaded from
the pysol site but it will not install because it says I need python
2.2.3 which I cannot seem to find. It is available but only as a i686.
Don't know if that will work. If you don't have any other ideas I will
have to go searching.
Bob S.
BTW Thanks for your very clear explanation of my problem.
