Re: installation problem

Thanks for your quick response. I knew is was something simple like this that I just wasn't getting right. This is daft, but when I ran "ldconfig" on the command line in the /etc directory earlier today, nothing seemed to happen, and is it "ldconfig" or "run ldconfig". Again, thanks!
