I would think that these would be identical RPMs, since we don't distribute 
different binaries for RedHat 9, Fedora Core 1, or Fedora Core 3: We build 
it on RedHat 9 and it just works on the Fedora Core 1-3. I know that the 
download web page lists them separately--this is to make it clear what to 
download. But they are identical.

I'm also a bit confused--you're installing the checkpoint server on all the 
execution computers?

Can you be more specific about the errors you are getting?

Yeah--these are the same binaries. Sorry for the confusion. :(

I think we need to see some log files to better help you.
