Tell me, what version of the xlib6 and xlib6g packages do you have installed? Probably they are too old. I think you upgraded them to hamm when they didn't work with netscape and left them in this state. Try upgrading them to the latest version. What I get is this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ ldd /usr/lib/netscape/netscape libXt.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXt.so.6 (0x4000c000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libSM.so.6 (0x4004e000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libICE.so.6 (0x40057000) libXmu.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXmu.so.6 (0x4006c000) libXpm.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXpm.so.4 (0x4007e000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXext.so.6 (0x4008c000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libX11.so.6 (0x40097000) libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1 (0x40135000) libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x40138000) libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x401f6000) Once the libc.so.6 stops showing up I think you are safe. In general, it is a bad thing if libc.so.5 and libc.so.6 both show up in ldd's output. Remco -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
