If I link libXaw.so.8 to libXaw.so.7, twm/mwm both crash. > Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong? Any help greatly appreciated. You will need to recompile everything that was linked to libXaw so it picks up version 7. In your startx startup script, you probably have something linked to libXaw that fails and with it startx. I'd guess that it is xterm perhaps? in that case recompile xterm (it is standalone port now) with xfree86's imake and libraries. Dejan
