(thanks to Cameron). I originally installed debian via Knoppix 3.2 Knoppix installed an xlibs-pic that is an empty DUMMY intended to "satisfy broken dependencies in Kdelibs4-dev". This apparently satisfies *most* build-dependencies, but not Xinerama. It also has a high version number making it difficult to replace! (4.3-1 vs a non-dummy 4.2.1-14) I tried to force a downgrade but it removed tons of stuff, and finally broke KDE, so I ran a failsafe, and using aptitude to track the broken dependencies resulted in reinstalling things exactly the way they were! So there seem to still be no Xinerama (which I don't need anyway!) and it still breaks on Xinerama_pic. Once again, my problem is that many KDE apps are crashing, all with the same complaints about lbpthread and kdecore and I'm trying to recompile kdelibs from source in an attempt to fix this. Is there a better way?? thanks, -- John -- ___________________________________________________ Check out the latest SMS services @ http://www.operamail.com, which allows you to send SMS through your mailbox.
