Question with CGI at JaguarPC..

[Chipp Walters]

Jacque (or anyone else),

I've installed the latest best 2.9 Linux revolution and now the
helloworld.cgi doesn't even work. Are you (or anyone) using the 2.9 latest
beta successfully, and if not, can you point me to a version which does
actually work, which also works with the lastest stack file formats? I
imagine there are some shared library dependencies which may not be 'hooked
up correctly' for 2.9 to work-- though this is only a guess.
