Random, snobbish nit: If you punctuate your sentences properly, you will make it easier for us to understand and help you. The e e cummings thing worked for poetry, but doesn't translate well to email. If your shift keys don't work, at least give us some periods to tell us where the sentences end. :) First off, are you sure you have a current version of plib? The current 1.4.2 version works, as does the one from CVS. Having an older one sitting around will cause SimGear to pick it up and fail a version test. If you have the correct version, how are you installing it? Normally, you should simply do this in the plib source directory: ./configure && make && make install Afterward, you should see a new libssg.a (and a bunch of other libraries) in /usr/local/lib. Is that working so far? One thing to check would be to make sure that there is *no* libssg.a file in /usr/lib or /lib or /usr/X11R6/lib. Now, in the SimGear source directory, you should be able to do exactly the same thing: ./configure && make && make install And it should find plib normally and compile. If this fails for you, try posting the exact error message you get to the list. Andy -- Andrew J.
