After I read your reply, I compiled fam 2.6.10 from the sources I
got on http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/ and tried my program again.

This time it worked.  What is interesting is the difference in
the shared libraries that are required.  Normally, 'ldd a.out'
reports this:

        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0x00537000)
        libfam.so.0 => /usr/lib/libfam.so.0 (0x003e1000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00771000)
        libselinux.so.1 => /lib/libselinux.so.1 (0x00c90000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00a57000)

When LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/fam-2.6.10/lib, the same command
says this:

        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0x00d99000)
        libfam.so.0 => /opt/local/fam-2.6.10/lib/libfam.so.0 (0x0084d000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x0022b000)
        libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x00111000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x001ca000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x0034b000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x003ef000)

I notice the disappearance of libselinux.so.1.  I guess I'll have
to go to some Fedora lists to try to sort this out.  Thanks for
your reply.
