I also ran /sbin/ldconfig, but still got the above, so I added the install directory for libaal (I think it is /usr/local/bin, but I don't have it here) to /etc/ld.so.conf, and ran ldconfig again, and after that everything worked. I guess if I really understood this better, it wouldn't have been even that hard, but general users shouldn't have to jump through these hoops. Steven
