Already tried that - sorry to say: same outcome. I can wait infinitely long (so it seems) after invoking freetalk. Then I Ctrl-C and all is well. Is there some way to get debug-output from freetalk - without wading into Guile-waters, preferably? Or perhaps one of the libraries (readline?) blocks? What is it supposed to be doing at the stage before this one: Loading dictionary [/usr/share/dict/words]... ----- Library versions (aptitude output): --\ guile-1.6 i A 1.6.8-6 --\ guile-1.6-libs i A 1.6.8-6 --\ libc6 (>= 2.3.5-1) i A 2.7-13 --\ libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.8.5) i A 2.16.4-2 --\ libloudmouth1-0 (>= 1.0.1) i A 1.4.0-1 --\ libncurses5 (>= 5.4-5) i A 5.6+20080713-1 --\ libreadline5 (>= 5.1) p A 5.2-3 ----- So long, Hagen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
