Sorry Kris, I was in part plain wrong in my first reply to this one. Linking /compat/linux/usr/X11R6 to /compat/linux/usr/local fixed my initial problem >>>>>>>>> | /usr/compat/linux/opt/openoffice.org2.4/program/soffice.bin: >>>>>>>>> | error while loading shared libraries: >>>>>>>>> | /usr/local/lib/libXext.so.6: ELF file OS ABI invalid What I still don't get is why ldconfig doesn't find the the X11R6 directory, when /compat/linux/etc/ld.so.conf point at it include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf /lib /usr/lib /usr/local/lib it seems to be ignoring the first line. Either there is a real problem here or the real problem is my ignorance, and I'm not sure which it is! with thanks yet again atb Glynhome | help
