I have a program, which is dependent on ksh.

It seems that ksh is not installed on the machine (server at work).

Contact who ever is "administering" this obsolete system, and have them
dig up the installation disks and install the 'pdksh' package. The
real Korn shell was restricted, and never included in older versions of
Red Hat - rather including a Public Domain version.

How do I get that installed?

If that's really 7.2, become root, insert the distribution CD (not sure
which one) and use 'rpm' to install the pdksh-5.2.14-13 package. If the
original CDs aren't available, search for the package

181294 Sep 7 2001 pdksh-5.2.14-13.i386.rpm

on your favorite search engine. You _MIGHT_ find it at

As far as I can see, it is a Redhat 7.2 installation.

'cat /etc/redhat-release' 7.2 was called 'enigma'. A very significant
problem is that it came out in October 2001, was last officially updated
in December 2003, and even unofficial support ended in May 2004. It is
very obsolete.

Good Luck
