If you've install libraries that the system can't seem to find, then check the following: rpm -ql <the packages you installed> | less Look carefully to see where all the libraries (*.so) files were installed. less /etc/ld.so.conf Look at the paths there, and check that the path to the above libraries is included. If it isn't, you'll have to add it and do an ldconfig again. Also be aware that occasionally all it takes is a symlink from an existing library to fix the type of problem you're having. For that, you'll need to know the *exact* name of the resource file the <program> is looking for. The easiest way (short of reading the accompanying docs) of doing this is: strace <program> >logfile 2>&1 && tail -f logfile If you miss any of the error messages whizzing by, you can re-read the log at your leisure with: less logfile Hope that helps a bit, -- [H]omer
