Working on what those two things are.
Used export QTDIR=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3 ln -s lib lib64 from QTDIR and ./configure --enable-libsuffix=64 Other programs, like Inkscape work fine at 64-bit, along with thunderbird, firefox, etc. I'll try the --with-extra suggestion next... have to run now. Thanks to all for hanging in here with me and AMD64, FC4. I'm just about ready for dual-core, 939 socket, which I have on two boxes here. Linux should handle the dual core okay, I'm sure. <smile> Frank
