i had a similar problem with linuxppc and ximian yesterday: the 
solution (for me) was to get the compat_bzip library and install that 
over the top. then it worked fine.

mark you ximian broke sound support and the cd-rom automounter, but 
that's another story...

Sometimes I wish someone would port grep to everyday life.
