Something I learned the hard way was that the mesa libraries (in xlibmesa3) have been renamed. One of my important molecular modeling packages kept dying on me; no one had any answer to my questions about it; and I had more or less given up on it. Then I read on another site that the new ones could be linked to names for the old: daddy:~# ls -l /usr/lib/libMesa* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Apr 20 09:52 /usr/lib/libMesaGL.so.3 -> /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Apr 20 09:52 /usr/lib/libMesaGLU.so.3 -> /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1 They are backward compatible. My app is up and running again! Some of your problems are likely because of this. Kenward -- It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he doesn't really need a college education, for he can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to thinking--something that cannot be learned from books. Albert Einstein
