This generally means there's some sort of library problem. Try running 'ldd pgp'; it should display a listing of the libraries needed by the program. (I'd imagine this could also happen if either (a) you had an a.out binary from a *really* old Linux distribution, or (b) you had a binary for another architecture. I'd assume neither of these to be the case here.) JZ> I downloaded the binary geomview package from www.geomview.org. It JZ> runs fine on Debian, but it has the several problem as above.

You might try falling back to Red Hat 6.2; its libraries are more likely to be compatible (particularly with Debian stable) and it's known to work out-of-the-box. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mit.edu/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
