I just now got around to reading it (should've done this before I sent my previous Email). Yep, that's the exact problem: /usr/bin/dialog: libdialog.so.5 => /usr/lib/libdialog.so.5 (0x3807e000) libncurses.so.6 => /lib/libncurses.so.6 (0x38099000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x380dd000) At least I have a workaround with NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS=1. :-) -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
