Your straws led to the solution Chris, Thanks ;-) After following the trail from the ldd output, I found that my hamm xterm had libXaw.so.6 linked to libneXtaw.so.6.1 but my slink libXaw.so.6 was linked to libXaw95.so.6.1. I changed the link and now have the scroll bars I want in slink. :))) Cheers John Carline > -- > Chris Leyon > > > ---------- > > From: John[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 10:11 PM > > To: debian-user@lists.debian.org > > Subject: Re: scroll bar resource?
