Try the ldd command to list the shared libs that arachne-svgalib is linked to. I think Monkey Linux is glibc1 (libc.so.5) based and your arachne-svgalib is for a glibc2.1 (libc.so.6) based linux distro. The glibc1 libs would be incompatible. eg. ldd /usr/bin/arachne-svgalib will show if the shared libs it's linked to exist or not. .. > Also I cant get pppd to run - similar sort of problems. httpd works > fine, ftp and telnet fine, startx fine, and the installation seems > stable and happy. >Kali The pppd problem could be alot of things.. ppp support must be in the kernel or a ppp.o module must be loaded using modprobe or insmod, depending on how the kernel was compiled. The pppd executable would also be using shared libraries most likely so the proper library versions must also exist. You can use ldd to check pppd and use dmesg command to look at boot-time kernel messages.. you should see a 'PPP line discipline registered' message in there and stuff. Wes
