Alternatively, you could do the following (as root, in /usr/X11R6/lib): ld --whole-archive -shared -o libXxf86dga.so libXxf86dga.a ld --whole-archive -shared -o libXv.so libXv.a This tends to do the trick at least for livid (the last time I checked). -- charl p. botha | computer graphics and cad/cam http://cpbotha.net/ | http://www.cg.its.tudelft.nl/
