the latest version of the target deploy guide contains this text:

3.a. Software Requirements


*       RedHat 7.2/7.3 or Solaris 2.8
*       Apache 1.3.26+


Apache must be compiled with mod_so for DSO module support, and must 
include SSL support(preferably using mod_ssl), and EAPI support 
(which mod_ssl requires and provides). Shibboleth can coexist with 
mod_auth, which may be compiled or loaded into the server for use 
elsewhere, but Shibboleth does not need or use it.
*       OpenSSL 0.9.6+
*       libcurl 7.9.8


Shibboleth requires the SSL-enabled version of libcurl.
*       libuuid 1.23
*       libstdc++3-3.0.4-1.i386.rpm and libgcc-3.0.4-1.i386.rpm


Shibboleth is currently built with GCC 3, and requires these specific 
library versions. They are available as GCC3 RPMs for RedHat 7.2/7.3, 
and are available in the RedHat 7.2 updates directory on any RedHat 
mirror.
*	Portions of the libphp4 Apache plugin are written in C++, as 
is Shibboleth. If a site wants to use libphp4.so, then it must ensure 
that the binary version they are using and Shibboleth will use the 
same version of libstdc++. The best way to do this is to recompile 
libphp4 using the same version of GCC that was used to compile the 
current version of Shibboleth (GCCv3.04 for Linux, GCCv3.2 for 
Solaris).

The QUESTION is -- can we assume that RH7.3 comes with the correct 
versions of several of these packages? (Derek didn't mention anything 
about installing newer versions of openSSL, libcurl).

And is libuuid coming with RH 7.3?

thanks!
