 Dear Toon
 
 Thanks for the message below.
 
 I have done several things and will communicate things to our group now that I
 understand. The setting of the library path was indeed the correct thing and
 fixed things up.
 
 Having done that it seems that it is worthwile uninstalling quite a few RPMs
 as this library makes things redundant and leaves open the possibility that
 other users might get a wrong environment.
 
 thanks for the response.
 
 Please have a wonderful Christmas. may it be a time of peace and happiness
 with you and your family and friends
 
 ths peter
