It should be on your system as it's an integral part of the Xwindows core system - this is from my machine: [root@kma1 bin]# locate xmessage /usr/share/doc/kdelibs-devel-3.0.4/kdecore/kxmessages_h.html /usr/X11R6/bin/xmessage /usr/X11R6/man/man1/xmessage.1x.gz /usr/include/kde/kxmessages.h [root@kma1 bin]# ....ok - so with that said, you might want to explore the possibility that you have some path statements that are mucked up - no biggie - it happens (as we've all seen already) - make sure the following are included in the /etc/ld.so.conf file: /usr/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/X11R6/lib ...save the file and run: ldconfig ...good...NOW, open up a term - it's going to plop you in the root of your ~/home/yournamegoeshere directory - we're going to blow out the WINE configs so that you can get them recreated - so type: rm .wine ...this is only a directory that contains rebuild-able configurations, so say YES to delete it...ok? Cool...now in the same term window, type: service wine --full-restart ...and sit back...after it's done it's magic, then try to start a Windows program again...such as I do for the following (doing so in a term window so that all errors are viewed): wine /mnt/c-drive/windows/sol.exe ...now, sit back and watch the errors/freak-outs or whatever and let us (me) know what happens from there! -- Tue Dec 31 09:40:00 EST 2002 9:40am up 1 day, 15:44, 6 users, load average: 0.10, 0.14, 0.19 ------------------------------------------------------------------ | __ __ | kuhn media australia | | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | | ;"""/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | ------------------------------------------------------------------ * linux user:267497 * RH 7.3+ * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting ------------------------------------------------------------------ The reason computer chips are so small is computers don't eat much.
