That's odd. libXmu.so.6 should have come with the xlib6 package. At least that's the way it is on my system: chrish@pianocktail:[~] >dpkg -S libXmu.so.6 xlib6: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6.0 xlib6: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 Do "dpkg -L xlib6" (this will list all the files that came with the xlib6 package that you installed). If libXmu.so.6 isn't in the list (would be really surprising) then check if you have the latest version of xlib6. If libXmu.so.6 *is* in the list, then it means that the file got deleted somehow after you installed xlib6. Reinstalling xlib6 should cure that. (To make sure that the libXmu.so.6 file is in the xlib6.deb file, you can use "dpkg -c" on the .deb file to list its contents.) Luck, Christian
