I loaded Ubuntu 8.10 server onto a virtual machine just to check it out, and the latest SC (7.3) started and died as per above. The fix was loading libfreetype6. Thanks mate - saved me a lot of troubleshooting. No other issues encountered and Alien and BBCiPlayer plugins running OK. -- Ramage T5500 1.6GHz, SC 7.2-22869 Win Vista, Alien 2.0 P4 2.6GHz, SC 7.3-23688 WinXP, Alien 2.2b1-7.3 P2 266MHz, ClarkConnect 4.1, SC 7.2.1-01.23240, Alien 2.0 AMD64x2 ubuntu 8.04, SC 7.3-23895, Alien 2.2b1-7.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ramage's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5343 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47875 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
