You have a 32 bit app (probably firefox) that the loader is trying to preload /usr/lib/libaoss.so - if it doesn't exist, or is not a 32 bit shared object, then you get the 'cannot be preloaded: ignored' warning. You need to compile/obtain a 32 bit libaoss.so and install it in /usr/lib James Pearson ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
