Thanks in advance! Not having much experience with recent slackware version I can't offer much help but saying that you might be needing some X libraries. What program are you trying to install and where did you find it? What I would suggest is attending the upcoming install fest where I'm sure we can solve whatever problems you might have plus more. Speaking of install fest, when are we going to have it? -- Thomas Eibner <http://thomas.eibner.dk/> DnsZone <http://dnszone.org/> mod_pointer <http://stderr.net/mod_pointer>
