No, I did not compile my own lib.  I was trying to run eagle from my 
home dir to get the failures messages.

Oh, I see what you mean the .eagle/bin.eagle. I tried to start eagle 
from the fluxbox menu and it didn't work so if tried from an xterm.

/usr/bin/eagle produces the same error list.

strace eagle   --including only failures "I did not edit this"
weird  - looks like someone didn't compile something for 64 bits??

stat64("/usr/lib/i486-linux-gnu", 0xff8c4e44) = -1 ENOENT (No such file 
or directory)
writev(2, [{"/home/wtopa/.eagle/bin/eagle", 28}, {": ", 2}, {"error 
while loading shared libra"..., 36}, {": ", 2}, {"libXrender.so.1", 15}, 
{": ", 2}, {"cannot open shared object file", 30}, {": ", 2}, {"No such 
file or directory", 25}, {"\n", 1}], 10/home/wtopa/.eagle/bin/eagle: 
error while loading shared libraries: libXrender.so.1: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory
) = 143
exit_group(127)                         = ?

grep   strace.txt
fails to find llibXrender
in the following places
/lib32/tls/i686/sse2/cmov/libXrender.so.1
/usr/lib32/tls/i686/sse2/cmov/libXrender.so.1
/lib/i486-linux-gnu/tls/i686/sse2/cmov/libXrender.so.1

There are 8 -12 different places in the 3 base dirs I list above that 
are there but it's so long I show only the main dirs that were searched.

None of which is a 64 bit lib.  By the install dates of the libs this 
got messed up in December.

I did make the symlinks but it seems that, for some reason, the libs in 
/usr/lib/  are not even called.  Check this----

~$ sudo ldconfig -v |grep libXrender
[sudo] password for wtopa:
ldconfig: Can't stat /lib/i486-linux-gnu: No such file or directory
ldconfig: Can't stat /usr/lib/i486-linux-gnu: No such file or directory
ldconfig: Can't stat /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu: No such file or directory
ldconfig: Can't stat /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu: No such file or directory
ldconfig: Cannot stat /usr/lib/libfakeroot-0.so: No such file or directory
ldconfig: Cannot stat /usr/lib/libgthumb-2.6.9.so: No such file or directory
        libXrender.so.1 -> libXrender.so.1.3.0

Something looks fishy here......

Thanks for the Help!!
