Take a look at what the configure script really does. Typically when something like this happens the config script is trying to link a library which fails because the library doesn't have the necessary DT_NEEDED entries due to yet other bugs or the symbol it is tested for doesn't exist in that particular version. Having the right compiler version is very important to get some gnome code to work. Even more so if it's written in C++ and for KDE code. You may want to check you're using the same versions as i.e. i386 was using for the same distribution. > Basically I want to have a browser running on RH installation. How about cheating, the Debian people got it working ;-) Ralf
