Make sure /usr/local/lib is listed in the file /etc/ld.so.conf and if it isn't then add it. Then run "ldconfig" as root. The issue is that the dynamic linker doesn't know to look for shared libraries in /usr/local/lib at run time, but at compile time it's being told where things are so you don't get errors then. It's a fairly annoying thing that you have to watch out for when adding shared libraries on new systems or into new directories. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
