Then I installed bash, top, tin, etc.. Yeah. I ran into the same problem with some upgraded packages. It'll work if you put a symbolic link in: ln -s libc.so.2.2 libc.so.3.0 Incidentally, a similar requirement appears if you try to run, for example, Netscape under X11R6. Netscape assumes just an X11 directory, so you need to add a symbolic link: ln -s X11R6 X11 Netscape is happy with that. Cheers! Ken Bigelow
