Hi All: I asked this question a couple of weeks ago, but have lost the answer to it. It's sort of a unix question, but as I'm involved in installing packages under X, it applies here as well. When I install a new package, how can I determine which libraries will be required? Otherwise I get prompted one by one and have to locate/install them from the CD. There's a simple utility/command that you run on the executable and it spits out just the names of the external libraries the program uses. I've racked my brain (and looked for the little bit of paper that got lost) but can't recall it. It's NOT nm, which gives a ton of info. This command just spits out the needed libraries one per line. I do recall that it's a command/utility with one or two modifiers. I'm going nuts! I can't remember it! Any help appreciated. Kevin -- Kevin McQuiggin VE7ZD mcquiggi@sfu.ca
