I had the same problem a couple of days ago, and IIRC I solved it the following way: cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 (/usr/lib/X11 is a symlink to this directory) rm -rf locale rm -rf locale.xlib6-old (if it exists) reinstall xlib6g reinstall xlib6 (gave a couple of error msgs but installed) cd to /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib/X11/ and do 'rm -rf locale' (this directory was empty on my box). Then do (in the same directory): ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale locale This procedure got things working on my box again (most notably Netscape and Matlab started to work OK again) HTH -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ + Peter Granroth + Microsoft is NOT the answer + + mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] + Microsoft is the question + + http://granroth.ml.org + The answer is NO + ------------------------------------------------------------------
