As I explained at the very beginning of this thread (note part 2, this is important!): 1. Install Grace from ports (math/grace) 2. Create $HOME/.grace/gracerc.user and put one line in this file: USE "pow" TYPE f_of_dd FROM "/usr/lib/libm.so" (this is the example from the Grace UsersGuide, but a similar construct allows me to load my own function from my own library file). 3. Start grace like this: $ xmgrace Shared object "libXcursor.so.1.0" not found, required by "xmgrace" DL module load failed: USE "pow" TYPE F_OF_DD FROM "/usr/lib/libm.so" Error at line 1 Indeed, grace will start normally, but it will not parse the "USE..." line from the gracerc.user, because the dlopen() call has the error: Shared object "libXcursor.so.1.0" not found, required by "xmgrace" Do you see this too? Thanks, Rob. __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com
