As everything appears to work fine, you can get rid of the messages by copying the older libraries to the newer names. As root, cd /usr/X11R6/lib cp libXext.so.6.1 libXext.so.6.3 cp libICE.so.6.0 libICE.so.6.3 and those nag messages should go away. You may need to run `ldconfig' to update the shared library cache (or just reboot your system). -- Regards, Norman C. Rice, Jr.
