Well, you probably should, even though this error doesn't mean that you need to. Check your /etc/ld.so.conf file and make sure it contains /usr/X11R6/lib If it doesn't, then add the line and run 'ldconfig' as root. You might then want to try to figure out what other directories should be in your /etc/ld.so.conf and aren't; my (bo) system lists the following: /usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw95 /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/lib/libc5-compat /lib/libc5-compat /usr/X11R5/lib /usr/X11R6/lib/i486-linuxaout I don't know how you'd go about constructing the list of what should be in /etc/ld.so.conf, though. (a find for all dirs containing files ending in '*.so' produces too many erroneous entries) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
