Subject: Re: Failed to install the Binary beta version of Miriad on Fedora machine

Dear Mr./Ms. Wang,
     Our FC machine collapsed a while ago. We have a replacement
but with ubuntu OS. As I recalled, Dr Zhu (Lei) successfully installed on
his laptop with Fedora not too long ago. One might need a minor fix for
installation of high versions of Fedora using the SMA FC9 binary
distribution. You may check with Lei for any trick.
