I had been running Coot 0..4 on a Red Hat EL4 machine with no
problems until one day last week when I tried to configure the
computer for dual monitors. One of the things I did during the
process was to download and install the card-specific driver that
Nvidia recommended for my Quadro FX 500/600 video card. I never got
the dual monitor set up to work (a post for another time and another
forum) but even more annoying was the fact that my meddling has
broken COOT. When I try to run it I get the following error messages:

No core file found. No debugging
When I look at the /usr/lib directory I see that a number of the
files, including /usr/lib/libGL.so.1, appear to have been updated
(they have a new time stamp) either by the installation of the Nvidia
driver or by up2date, which I ran in an attempt to fix the problem
when I first noticed it. Does anyone have any ideas how I might
unscramble this egg, short of re-installing my operating system.
