The best way to find out which packages contain the files you need is to use the "Search the Contents of the Latest Release" search engine at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages.html. In this case for the stable release it returns: FILE PACKAGE ------------------------------------------------------------------------- usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 x11/xlib6g usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.3 x11/xlib6g usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXext.so.6 oldlibs/xlib6 usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXext.so.6.3 oldlibs/xlib6 HTH, Brian Servis -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mechanical Engineering | Never criticize anybody until you Purdue University | have walked a mile in their shoes, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | because by that time you will be a http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis | mile away and have their shoes.
