thanks for the encouragement, I NEED IT (LOL) I may have mislead you about the text login. When my OS boots up, I have totally blue screen with time and date in the righ bottom corner and Linux penguin the bottom left hand corner with terminal and Mozilla Programs on the tool bottom tool bar. I'm not sure whether this is text or graphic. I remember entering something about an automatic login for myself as user, so it just boots up to that screen everytime. Yeh, what you said about ultimate path statements and library paths, this is what I need to set up properly. I have to be able to run a program from the command line, but at the moment, I can't even configure the damn things. configure:error:acceptable cc not found in $PATH or something to that affect. Anyway, I have to go for tea now, I should be back around 8.30-9.0pm, I'll pick your message up then. Bye for now Graham
