Hello, You can find a FAQ about this problem at the following URL: http://support.wolfram.com/MathLink/Linux/RedHat6.html The problem occurs with functions which use stdin, stderr, and stdout that expect an earlier version of glibc. Any time that MathLink needs to print out something using printf or a related function it will crash due to the changes in the shared library. Two solutions are provided, but there are others. 3) provide all of the necessary information on the command line. This way MathLink doesn't have to print out any dialogs to get more inforation. 4) install the previous glibc. Probably However, I sugguest sticking to the first two. That Should get you using MathLink. Thanks, Tom Hildrich MathLink Developer Wolfram Research, Inc.
