Try doing a find over all the filesystem. Look for things like this: find / -name libfontconfig*.so* \ -or -name libfreetype*.so* \ -or -name libXft*.so* Should find something along these lines: /opt/freetype2/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.5 /opt/freetype2/lib/libfreetype.so.6 /opt/freetype2/lib/libfreetype.so /opt/xft/lib/libXft.so.2.1.1 /opt/xft/lib/libXft.so.2 /opt/xft/lib/libXft.so /opt/fontconfig/lib/libfontconfig.so.1.0.4 /opt/fontconfig/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 /opt/fontconfig/lib/libfontconfig.so If you find more than this you may have a problem. Disregard libXft.so.1 which comes with X, that's OK. OpenOffice also comes with its own libfreetype.so.6, I usually preload my own in the swriter script. Anyway, get back to us with anything suspicious. -- Ciprian Popovici -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
