thanks for the help. i should write sentences maybe: "ld.conf.so is the configuration file, ldconfig is the application that needs the configuration file." honestly, when needed which is not very often, i know it is in /etc/ and starts with an l. the naming is such that i can figure it out from there. thanks for the fix to what i wrote and you are welcome to the laugh i probably provided. carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
