I think I've solved my own problem (which was of my own making), and I now have the full version of Mathematica 2.2.4 for Linux working under 2.1R with a few minor hacks to the linux emulator. My problem was that I'd attempted to emulate the linux SIOCGIFHWADDR & done a very poor job of it. This was apparently corrupting Mathematica. Basically, the ioctl is supposed to return a pointer to a Linux ifreq struct & I was passing it a pointer to an array of chars. Once I cleaned this up, my problems went away. I'll be happy to pass my solution on to anybody who wants/needs it, but if you're just trying to get the standalone version of Mathematica going, you can safely ignore the missing ioctl & all should be fine. I also want to thank Chuck Robley & Rich Murphey for the help they sent me. It was much appreciated. Drew
