Post the output of the following commands: dpkg -l zlib1g ldd /usr/bin/gconftool-2 | grep libz ldd /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 | grep libz nm -D /usr/lib/libz.so.1 | grep gzopen64 -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
