If so it probably requires glibc2.1 libraries, only available in potato. If there is not an x11amp package in slink, then a solution would be to download the (debianised) source and compile it. Almost all of the debian sources (in my experience) seem to compile straight away, with no problems. This way the package would only require whatever version of the libraries you have in your system (glibc 2.0 in slink, unless you have inadvertently upgraded your libraries to glibc2.1 when you got x11amp). > video card requires the mach64 server for X11R6 3.3.3.1 which is part of potato, > slink uses 3.3.2.3 My system is currently working with X3.3.2.3 with the mach64 > server for 3.3.3.1, I'm not sure if this is such a good idea, but it works for I understand this to be a perfectly acceptable configuration. I have done a similar thing myself for a while (until 2.1 came out, when I stopped being a hamm/potato system and moved to slink, although I have since gone back to using some potato packages] If you have to use the potato mach64 packages, they probably require glibc2.1, so you could recompile them as well. (big download though ;-) Apparently netscape has some problems with glibc2.1, although I am having no more crashes than I did with glibc2.0. > > me for the moment.
