Hi Eric, Whenever I seem to be missing libraries or any file for that matter, I always go to the Debian package search page. It's at the bottom of http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages and there are two ways to search. I always use the "Search the Contents[...]" method by just plugging in the missing filename. For the libXt.a file, I got this result: usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.a x11/xlib6g-static usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib/libXt.a oldlibs/xlib6-static and for libX11.a I got: usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.a x11/xlib6g-static usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib/libX11.a oldlibs/xlib6-static so you have two choices, but you probably want the current glibc version. hth -- __ _ Mark Wagnon Debian GNU/ -o) / / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chula Vista, CA /\\/ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] _\_v____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ http://www.debian.org
