Dear Hoa: Check to see if /usr/local/lib is in your ldso.conf file in /etc. If not please edit the file and put the path at the bottom of the file, save the changes and then run ldconfig. I suspect this is your problem. Kirk -- Kirk Reiser The Computer Braille Facility e-mail: kirk at braille.uwo.ca University of Western Ontario phone: (519) 661-3061
