SRS and Linux....

Hi, I am experiencing some strange behaviour with SRS on Linux.

Basically, I have recently installed SRS on Red Hat Linux 5.2 and all seemed
OK.

However, I have a simplified HTML search interface which calls wgetz and this
works fine on Solaris but when I use the same HTML on Linux it performs the
search and displays the results as per normal, but when I click on an actual
entry, it gives me an error saying e.g.

file could not be opened
"ZGe1BW9BV"

Now when I use the full SRS interface on Linux there is no problem. I had a
look and what is happening is that the simple search does create the temporary
directory ZGe1BW9BV, but does not seem to create a user.par file there. If I
do a full search and copy across the user.par file it fixes the problem but
obviously this is not a solution.

Is there any obvious reason why this should work on Solaris and not on Linux?

thanks,

Bren Vaughan
