Linking /compat/linux/usr/X11R6 to /compat/linux/usr/local got Openoffice running but reaplay is giving the same kind of error :-( > I always suspected this to be because the linker look up is correct, but the > actual file is handed in the base system not in the /compat/linux chroot, but > I haven't bothered to verify that. OK - will await wisdom on this one :-) atb and thanks again Glyn
