Try not being the sysadmin and installing stuff, its very handy:

jadevree@honda:~(0)> uname -a
Linux honda.we.mtu.edu 2.6.9-42.0.10.EL #1 Fri Feb 16 17:03:28 EST 2007
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
jadevree@honda:~(0)> cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 (Nahant Update 5)
jadevree@honda:~(0)> echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/local/cael/bob/setec.Linux/lib:/home/wecn10/jadevree/lib.Linux
