You can find which package owns a file by going to the bottom of the debian packages page (http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages) and entering the file name in the "Search the Contents of the Latest Release" search field. libreadline.so.3, as it turns out, doesn't exist, but you can probably get away with creating a symlink to libreadline.so.4, like so: ln -s /lib/readline.so.4 /lib/readline.so.3 -- John Patton [EMAIL PROTECTED] Get my GnuPG public key: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Love conquers all things; let us too surrender to Love." - Virgil, Eclogues
