During installation of HelixPlayer, I've received en error message about "missing libstdc++5 " or similar... Checking /etc/ld.so.conf, I've found this line: /usr/i486-slackware-linux/lib that I changed in /usr/powerpc-slackware-linux/lib . After "ldconfig", HPlayer installed fine. Question: The "wrong" line in /etc/ld.so.conf file is a feature or a bug? ;)) Ah: slackintosh-11.0 on a 12" ibuk ( half 2005). paolo -- Mi sono accorto di essere troppo gentile per il mio carattere (Marcello Marchesi)
