Libraries are the most often problematical when loading rpms because the rpm is in many cases not for that distribution. So whats happening is that the rpm , probably for RH, is looking in one place and the distro is storing the lib in another. So you have to EXPORT the PATH statement, which is something that I always forget how to do. So I normally enter the path into /etc/ld.so.conf; do not forget also to always call "ldconfig -v" after playing with or installing libs. -- Keith Antoine aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
