Even though you might have all the requirements met, you might have either some stale libraries, or bad links to libraries, or not have certain libraries in your paths. Check your /etc/ld.so.conf and you might find that you can add a few path statements to that - so that your searches for libs is at least out of the way. If you make any modifications, you're going to have to run "ldconfig" again to rebuild the lib path cache. The seg faults can be caused from many different issues - one being that if a binary is linked against a conflicting library - that is certain to crash an application. -- Thu Mar 13 23:10:01 EST 2003 23:10:01 up 1 day, 8:33, 4 users, load average: 0.15, 0.27, 0.25 ------------------------------------------------------------------ | __ __ | 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 * MDK 9.1 * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting ------------------------------------------------------------------ ** This messages was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer ** "Largely because it is so tangible and exciting a program and as such will serve to keep alive the interest and enthusiasm of the whole spectrum of society...It is justified because...the program can give a sense of shared adventure and achievement to the society at large." - Dr. Colin S.
