I thought Debian XFree86 3.3 was thread safe anyway. But assuming you know what you're talkign about here... The X server is single-threaded anyway and quite independent of the client libs. In fact: % ldd =XF86_S3V libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x4000e000) libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1 (0x40016000) libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x40019000) No X libs there. > Should I use 'LD_PRELOAD' ? > And anyone know which `export LD_PRLOAD="list:of:libraries"` I should use? Most likely, you want to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Also, are you sure the normal X programs work with your safe libraries? Wouldn't it be easier to do the following? % alias mnemonic='LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/src/Xlib-threadsafe ~/bin/mnemonic' -- Carey Evans <*> [EMAIL PROTECTED] "these are not inherent flaws in [NT] -- they don't happen by accident.
