The script cannot locate iwidgets. ldconfig shows that all the libraries for tcl, tk, itk and itcl are known, and the script isn't complaining about anything else being missing.

I'm stubborn like that. :-) Paul Schmehl (pauls@utdallas.edu) Adjunct Information Security Officer University of Texas at Dallas AVIEN Founding Member http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/
