Better if you put the error message you are getting when you run those applications from command line. > I couldn't find anything under an apt-cache search, so searched it on > the Debian website and found a number of nvidia-related packages that > contain this library file. All good. Yep... I've got "nvidia" driver installed. s...@stt008:~$ dpkg -S libGLcore.so.1 nvidia-glx: /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.173.14.09 nvidia-glx: /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 Let me check: s...@stt008:~$ dpkg -l | grep nvidia ii nvidia-glx 173.14.09-5 NVIDIA binary Xorg driver ii nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-2-amd64 173.14.09+3+lenny1 NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.6.26 ii nvidia-kernel-common 20080825+1 NVIDIA binary kernel module common files But I have installed those just because my VGA card is nvidia-based. > I then attempt the following: > > ~$ sudo apt-get install libgl1-nvidia-glx Hmmm, I don't even have that package installed.

Well, before going further on this, I would first ask myself if I really need that library for running amarok or chronium. For me it looks like the error can come from another place >:-?
