You are quite likely correct about linux_base-6.1 being the culprit. I had SO (from the Sun CD) running just fine, then I removed linux_base-5.2 and installed 6.1 (to get glibc 2.1 so opera would run) and SO stopped working, it seg faulted and core dumped at start up. Then I removed linux_base-6.1 and re-installed 5.2, but still SO seg faulted. The only difference in my system now was that I had originally installed linux_base-5.2 on top of (the now deprecated) linux_lib-2.6 but I removed that as well when installing linux_base-6.1. Only yesterday I rm'd SO completely and reinstalled it using the port. There were a few errors during the build, and it complains about a shared lib not being found on start-up, however it *does* now work. One thing I am going to try, this weekend if the weather continues as it is, is to completely remove linux_base-5.2 and SO, install 6.1, then SO again and see what happens. I'll keep the list informed of the outcome.
