However, they require things like libXaw 6.1 and libXext 6.1, where 2.1 is distributed with 6.0. 1) Is it possible ot just get these libraries without upgrading the OS to 2.1.5? The upgrade section in the README for 2.1.5 didn't make a full upgrade sound like it was very much fun.. 2) Is there somewhere where other libararies from the new OS can be found, and will they work as well? (e.g. libc 3.0, etc.) Any help would be greatly appreciated! sage __ | /\_\ sage weil sage@mind.net | | \/_/ webring manager http://www.webring.org | | finger for PGP key http://www.mind.net/sage |
