You appear to be missing the soft link for the library itself. It should look something like: lrwxrwxrwx /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so -> libXext.so.6.4 lrwxrwxrwx /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 -> libXext.so.6.4 -rwxr-xr-x /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.4 There needs to be one file named libXext.so. Create a soft link. -- Dan Espen E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
