Yes I have installed the libots OK.

ah thanks. I just tried it with the -no-whole-archive -lots and it did work
this time. I was thinking the strip was part of the "lots" 
And the .so is a little diff in size to so it prob needed it.

ah ok. I just read man strip and I see that yes its a separate thing. 

I am actually trying to get xeena an IBM XML editor running.
xeena-1.2EA$ ./sample_dtd.sh
using java in [/usr/java/jre1.3.1]
/usr/java/jre1.3.1/bin/jre: error in loading shared libraries: 
libhpi.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Am getting there, have the above to delve into now.

Thanks
