And you are, as always, right... but.... (I know always some a-hole butting in.) If his box did/does what mine did. locate libaudio.so /usr/X11R6/lib/libaudio.so.2.3 /usr/X11R6/lib/libaudio.so.2 Even though I have the rpm in question installed. I don't have that 3rd level of linking. Where so.2 and so link to so.2.3. So what I've found is often when I get the above error. I have 3 steps. One, the one you took. Two, make sure that that 3rd link (the libaudio.so one) is there. and finally I've had to add a bunch to ld.so.conf. things like /usr/lib/ even though the libs are there for reasons unknown some builds don't pick it up unless I had the dir to ld.so.conf and re-run ldconfig. I know this isn't supposed to happen... but. If it works repeatedly I keep repeating it. James
