I see that the libz we were conflicting with is a libz 1.1.3. The Linux system uses libz.1.2.3. The strange thing is that openSUSE 10.3, where all works ok with our library (libz 1.1.3) in place in the same way, also uses libz 1.2.3 (in /lib). Perhaps the KDE (and presumably other 'system' apps) in 10.3 do not use libz and so the incompatibility was never seen. All has run very well on 10.3. (I think I may soon be able to say that about 11.2!) The main reason we have our own libz is so we can load it into Tcl interpreters. I will have to see if the interpreters work with the system's libz 1.2.3 If libz.so.1.1.3 and libz.so.1.2.3 are binary incompatible, it is too bad that libz.so.1 points to these on various systems. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
