Hi Les, The library problem is always an issue. I used to produce a windows program that had to run on many different versions of windows. I finally ended up building statically linked executables. These contained all the necessary code and did not depend on the users run time environment. The distributed code is larger, but runs on a larger selection of O/S releases. Perhaps a statically linked linux project would work for sheetcam. cheers
