The problem is that the shared X libraries need the shared libc but the old, a.out gcc links in a static debug version of libc called libg when -g is used. Either don't link with -g so the shared libc will be used or add -static so the shared X libraries won't be used. David -- David Engel Optical Data Systems, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1101 E.
