With respect to ncurses, I believe it is only used to create the status display of the server output in the shell from which it was launched. I matched all this against the output from ldd and I couldn't find a smoking gun. It looks as if Jakub's trick worked flawlessly and everything that would've been FC1 specific has been captured and put to work. Could this indicate that the kernel is the problem or more specifically the implementation of the FPU as you have suggested Alan? I did try to install the most recent FC1 kernel rpms for 2.4.22-1.2199.nptl as well, but it told me a newer kernel version is already installed and subsequently aborted the installation. Does anyone have any suggestions? -- |TF20|Shockwave http://www.clan-tf20.com/ ICQ# 57671167 #taskforce20 irc.gamesurge.net
