Well, actually, to tell the truth it didn't. :P HOWEVER, I managed to figure out what the problem was. When I downloaded the distribution for XF8632, the README said the X32prog.tgz file was optional. Never occurred to me. I downloaded it, expanded it, updated the ldconfig cache and re-built it. Installed with no problems. Easy-peezy! :) Thanks for the suggestion though! Mike.
