This alien library is broken or there is a version mismatch. If you get rid of it then the system should use the correct one in /usr/lib/. However, you really have to figure out where the files in /usr/local/lib came from. Did you maybe follow some tutorial on the web that told you to compile and "make install" some programs from source? If you never did such a thing, then I think you have to reinstall your system from safe media because you may have been compromised. When additional files start to appear mysteriously then all bets are off, especially if these files are "alternative" versions of libraries related to authentication and security, -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
