I think my point, Actually my problem was that I naively thought that the version supplied on the NYT website is what you are using. It appears you are using this: http://www.litsoft.com/across/alite/download.htm To run that, I had to install: lesstif libXp libXpm compat-libstdc++-296 [sam@nc10 acrosslite1.2]$ ./acrossl ./acrossl: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.2.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [sam@nc10 acrosslite1.2]$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8 [sam@nc10 acrosslite1.2]$ ./acrossl ./acrossl: symbol lookup error: ./acrossl: undefined symbol: __eh_pc That appears more googlable, but at this point I have to admit I lost interest... ...
