My first impression is to tell you that you probably don't want to upgrade to libc6 2.1 as some people (myself included) have had problems with it. That said, if you do decide to go the libc6 2.1 route, you should consider upgrading your whole system to potato. It's an easy process (apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade). That said, what I'd do (and have done) is compile x11amp on your own. You'll need libgtk1.2-dev, libglib1.2-dev, esound-dev, libimlib-dev (may be gdk-imlib... anyway, all the stuff that's related to gtk v1.2) then get the source from www.x11amp.org, extract and compile. btw, if you can't find libgtk1.2-dev and its relatives, they're hiding in the gnome staging area. Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list. deb ftp://gnomeftp.wgn.net/pub/gnome/gnome-1.0/debian slink main HTH -Dano
