Hi Chris, Thanks for the response. So I was barking up the wrong tree, huh? Nothing new there. Good thing I asked the question. Isn't there some way I can use Factor's built-in debugging support to at least tell me which specific image is not being found so I could have more of a clue as to what's going wrong? I have libopenal1 installed on my Ubuntu 10.10 system. I checked in openal.factor and it's looking for "libopenal.so". My file is "libopenal.so.1", so I changed openal.factor to use this version. I also notice that openal.alut is used and alut.factor is looking for "libalut.so". My file is "libalut.so.0", so I changed alut.factor to use this version. From that point, the error messages pointed the way to entering the proper value for rom-root and now it works! I also tried to get it working in Windows 7 after I downloaded and installed "oalinst" and "freealut-1.1,0-bin". The installer put the "OpenAL32.dll" file in C:\Windows\System32, so I put "alut.dll" there, too. However, the examples that came with "freealut" wouldn't work until I put "alut.dll" in C:\Windows, so I put a copy of "OpenAL32.dll" there, too. No joy. I still get the same "The image refers to a library or symbol that was not found at load time" message. But I'm mostly happy to have it working under Linux. I prefer Linux for most of my development work and I've come to accept that Windows is sort of the "poor step child" in the world of Factor. Examples of this are the lack of real serial port support for Windows and the fact that none of the demo slide shows display properly under Windows. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
