Some of the are symlinks. > Shall I de-install and re-install some components (dselect, > apt-get)? If the libaries are not in their directories, please manually install the oldlibs/xpm4.7 and oldlibs/xlib6 packages. Just something like: dpkg -i .../debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/oldlibs/xpm* You can also call "ldconfig -p | grep 'libc5.*X' to check which libaries the dynamic linker knows of. My output is: $ /sbin/ldconfig -p | grep 'libc5.*X' libX11.so.6 (libc5) => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libX11.so.6 libXtst.so.6 (libc5) => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXtst.so.6 libXt.so.6 (libc5) => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXt.so.6 libXpm.so.4 (libc5) => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXpm.so.4 libXp.so.6 (libc5) => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXp.so.6 libXmu.so.6 (libc5) => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXmu.so.6 libXi.so.6 (libc5) => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXi.so.6 libXext.so.6 (libc5) => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXext.so.6 libXaw.so.6 (libc5) => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXaw.so.6 libXIE.so.6 (libc5) => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXIE.so.6 libPEX5.so.6 (libc5) => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libPEX5.so.6 Torsten -- Homepage: http://www.in-berlin.de/User/myrkr
