Some time ago, I installed debian3.0r1 stable, both at home and at work. Then, these days, I decided that I need Hebrew support. First on the console: I wrote a small script that changes the charset and allows metachars. Sure enough, I was able to read Hebrew and, when using Hebrew-enabled vim to write as well. Then I looked for libbidi and bidiv. As the newest deb packages are based on a different library than mine, and I could not find an older one, I downloaded the tar bals and went through the usual ./configure, make, install for libdibi (it installs by default in /usr/local/lib) then I added /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and then I compiled bidiv, which landed in /usr/local/bin. Now, while at home bidiv worked without any problem, at work the linker was unable to find libbidi.so. The only way to convince bidiv to work was by creating a symbolic link from /usr/local/lib/libbidi.so.0.0 to /usr/lib/libbidi.so where bidiv looks for the library. I certainly must have done something different at work, but I can't remember or guess what. Any ideas ? Thanks, avraham
