I ran ldconfig and again just now (after removing those extra libs in /lib). Same result as above. :( BC> Partial upgrades to XF4 are going to cause some issues, I'm sure.

I was concern about that partial update too ... . But I really didn't know what is necessary or not necessary that evening since there wasn't any dependency problem (or otherwise I wouldn't have wanted to continue). :( I do feel bold when I have time. :) Is there anything special about this newer X stuff that I will need to know first? I mean sparc related ... I think you have mentioned sometime ago in this list that we now can do Xconfig stuff like in the x86---so you see, I am a little timid now ... I couldn't even able go into the archive to verify this :( Thank you very much for your quick response! Regards, HenSiong
