Each distro differs in where the PATH is set to.Ypu download a foreign rpm and the libs may get put in a different area. > 3.

No it does no harm its just a path to be checked, also if you did delete it what heppens when you do another which needs that path. > This is a useful trick if it works since I'm sure I'll run into this > problem again with some other rpm. Thats all i do when i have the lib but its not seen. Also remember to call ldconfig -v when you have installed new libs. > Thanks -- Keith Antoine aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage -- Keith Antoine aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
