Dear Edward,

the latest version of HKL2000 does not require libg2c.so anymore:
t...@shelx8:/usr/local/bin$ ldd scalepack
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xf7744000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf7702000)
        libcrypt.so.1 => /lib32/libcrypt.so.1 (0xf76d0000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf757e000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf7571000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib32/libdl.so.2 (0xf756c000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7745000)
This is for HKL2000-0.98.699m which I downloaded end of September.

In case you do need libg2c.so, one resource for finding the package you are
looking for might also be http://packages.debian.org, because the packages
ubuntu uses might have similar names as the Debian ones, but I am not totally
sure about this.

Cheers, Tim
