Wow thanks for the info. I ran xara from a terminal as suggested and these are the results.
[work at localhost ~]$ /home/work/.local/bin/xaralx /home/work/.local/bin/xaralx: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so .5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory........ so I did a search and found [root at localhost work]# locate libstdc++.so /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.4 /usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.0.0/libstdc++.so /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libstdc++.so.5 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libstdc++.so.5/libstdc++.so.5 /home/work/.local/lib/libstdc++.so.5 /home/work/.local/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.2.apkg The required file is in /.local/lib/ and xara is in /.local/bin I seem to remember during the installation something that said to create a directory /.local and put xara in there but I cannot find the document. I put PATH=/.local/lib $PATH into the .bashrc but that doesnt help. What to do now please Many thanks Roger
