To figure out, which version runs on your Linux-box, enter "uname -r" without quotes - or better "uname -a" for getting the most out of this command. ELF is not a distributor like SuSE, RedHat etc.. It is the name of the binary format in distinction from "aout" the older Linux format. If you've got a nearly actual SuSE-System (I suppose (!) 6.3 or higher), Mathematica should work fine. Peter
