I have to face the dreaded compilation from source then, -> there seem to be issues with FC4. I have tried that a few times. Perhaps I did not put enough effort because I somehow had faith in the binaries approach. I already started a thread regarding errors I get while compiling from source. I will focus on that now. Thanks for the input.
