Although this program is free for academic non commercial use, the source is not present for download. Therefore, my question: is any procedure to install the requested so.2 version of library from etch safe? THat should be fine. I think that comes from libgdbmg1. The 3 comes from libgdbm3. If nothing else getting the source package for gdbmg1 from etch and building it on your system should work. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

For me, the issue is that version 3 is so different from version 2 that symlinks of the type I did may work or not, probably mostly not. francesco You have to run ldconfig so that it can find libgdbm.so.2 when the program tries to open it. However, as you pointed out, it might not work because of incompatibilities in the libraries. But you can try. -- It's a summons. What's a summons?
