linux-nisplus Digest, Vol 64, Issue 1

[Gene Loriot]

I would be VERY surprised if a SGI executable will run on a Linux  
server.  Do you know the CPU chip manufacturer and model?  Are they  
compatable?

By design, if you have a tarred up file(s), they are byte identical  
when untarred.  I would tar them up, then use ftp or scp to move them  
over, and extract.
The BEST idea is ALWAYS to recompile.  This makes certain that all the  
appropriate libraries are being referenced.

Please advise your progress, or if I have mis understood your issue.
