That's interesting. I don't have a 6.3.8, only 6.3 (and 6, linked to 6.3). I did just install the latest Apple X11 update. Also, in the past, MPL has been know not to work with Apple's X11 libfreetype. I wonder if you had installed 6.3.8 yourself. That would have explained it, in that usually if you install, for instance, 6.3.8, there would be a link from 6.3 to 6.3.8, which may have been what you linked to originally. Then, if Apple provided a new 6.3 with their X11, it overwrote yours. I do note that your 6.3.8 is MUCH larger than 6.3, which is a bit curious. Anyway, most of us end up linking MPL statically against a self-installed libfreetype, just for these reasons. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
