Just down loaded the 2.14 package from your web site. The packages I'm using 
were fronm the opensuse repository. Sorry I was confused, since it said 
proprietory package I assumed it was provide by AVASYS. 

I'll install the package and deinstall what I have first. I post results.

Thanks for the continuing help.
