I can't really help with FC 5 specifics, but there are a few general things I can help with. > Lesstif was not installed and yum failed to find it.

Lesstif has been seen to have numerous bugs --- so since you later installed OpemMotif, you're fine.

If it doesn't have /usr/local/lib in it, add that and rerun ldconfig. Without being told to add /usr/local/lib to the mix, ldconfig won't add those shared libraries to its lookup. If it *DOES* have /usr/local/lib in it, then I can't help ya and one of the FC users here will have to step in. The one thing I could imagine being a problem in that case is if for some reason /usr/local/lib isn't owned by root --- on BSD (my primary system) ldconfig won't add directories to its search unless they're owned by root, but that might not be the case for linux. > I thought maybe I had skipped a step in the wiki instructions, so I went > back to the shapelib source directory and attempted a the "make lib, > make lib_install, ldconfig" sequence again.

I'm looking at the wiki page for FC (http://www.xastir.org/wiki/index.php/HowTo:Fedora) and it mentions the bit about making sure /usr/local/lib is in your /etc/ld.so.conf, so perhaps you already got that done and I'm barking up the wrong tree. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
