Hi All,
Scott is in the midst of getting the tarball updated, here is the
message I plan on sending let me know if there is anything I should
change.
(I will update step 4 after I am doubly sure of what needs to be done)
New STABLE Release!!
MANY bug fixes, MANY feature enhancements
1) You will NEED to install a new LON-CAPA-systemperl RPM
If you are running RedHat 6.2 get
http://install.loncapa.org/3.1/latestRPMS/LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.4-1.i386.rpm
If you are running RedHat 7.[0,1,2,3] get
http://install.loncapa.org/3.1/latestRPMS/LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.4-rh72.i386.rpm

rpm -Uvh --force LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.4-1.i386.rpm
or

2) You will then need to get the new software, download
