When I first set up Mandrake 9.0 I remember seeing threads about ld.so.conf and ldconfig so that was one of the first things that I did was to make sure that anywhere I have libs that they are in ld.so.conf and tried (successfully as far as I can see) to make sure that duplicate libs didn't get installed to say /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib (thought there are a few symlinks here and there to libs). Tuxcart I think is definitely a lib issue since it won't run at all but immediately exits with "Segmentation Fault" gyach, I'm not so sure of since it can run sometimes for 2-3 minutes then it happens, or it can run for 5-6 hours before it happens. That was the reason I was wondering if it was a memory issue. I played around with it a bit and I've noticed that it doesn't happen hardly at all under IceWM, never under PWM (at least not yet-it was up for 7 hours one day), sometimes under fluxbox and WindowMaker... I've been away from KDE/GNOME for a while so I don't recall the frequency of crashes there. Also when I mentioned all requirements met, I meant that durring the ./configure there were no "looking for x.... no" (there were at first but i noted these and installed them before compling completely. gyach was a program i wanted to run stably.) though possibly it could have been built under a different (probably older) version of a lib or ap that I have installed and that may be the problem, yes? Thanks for your help :-)
