Hi! I do not know how libraries are given version numbers and how one links against a special version of a lib. But I _would_ like to know. ;-) Is it OK that many of the freshly-compiled KDE apps here say "libkimgio.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or.." or similar with other libs? I do not think so. I had to get many libs back from /usr/local/kde.old/lib/* ... :-((( -- Ciao, / / /--/ / / ANS --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Meine mail me: hans_meine@gmx.net Harkortstr. 138 http://www.dialnet.de/hansmeine D-22765 Hamburg ICQ: RastaJoe <28674493> [Germany] Phone: ++49-40-38612523 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
