This looks like an X library: do you have XFree installed? If you have installed XFree and these libraries, have you run ldconfig yet, to configure with all of the libraries you need? Rebooting (via shutdown -r or reboot) will also fix this. If you don't want to install X for these programs, consider using the ports collection to recompile them without X support. -- bryan k. ogawa <bkogawa@primenet.com> <bkogawa@netvoyage.net>
