Thanks for the info. I am pretty sure i can upgrade to 6.5.9 however i have
no experience of compiling lam at all. Can you please give me some direct
links to help, web pages or install docs for 6.5.9 and any other advice
like pre-req packages or just general things to remember that other users
have noted etc. This is very much appreciated as i need to get lam working
ASAP on over 20 new machines.
Regards

Ah -- you did not previously indicate that LAM itself failed to compile
(this is why it did not install -- because it didn't even compile
properly).
This looks like a bug in LAM 6.5.6 that was fixed in a later version,
and yes, this is directly related to using a later version of Linux.
The problem is how the global "errno" is treated in modern systems. It
used to be a single integer. But once threads were introduced, it was
no longer sufficient for it to be a global value (because each thread
might need a different errno value) -- errno became a function (behind
the scenes, due to some trickery with #define's).
Apparently, in 6.5.6, we didn't #include the right files in all the
right places to get the prototype for errno correct.
I believe that you said that you are using some software that requires
the use of LAM 6.5.6. What software is this? Can your vendor upgrade?
6.5.6 is very, very old -- we officially don't support the 6.5 series
(and haven't for quite a while).
At the least, can you upgrade to 6.5.9? It should be roughly the same
as what you have for 6.5.6, but with a few bugs fixed.
