Now it no longer says "can't load libXmu.so.6", instead it says: "can't load libXpm.so.4" What which other/s library/s should I install next? -------------------------------------------------- El hombre-masa actual es, en efecto, un primitivo, que por los bastidores se ha deslizado en el viejo escenario de la civilización.
