I have the same problem. Which is why I'm stuck in Windows.

I'm not really Linux-proficient, anyway, so it's no big loss to me. I know how to use the shell (as well as the GUIs), but half of the binaries in there are foreign language to me. =)

I suspect I'll learn Linux one of these days. Until then, my dual boot system won't see Linux much unless I want to play xpilot. =)

I assume you are using the v300 installation, because that has been updated to make this all easier. Did you install on the whole system (as root) or just in an isolated account?

If you installed on the whole system, then you need to reboot afterwards or run 'ldconfig'. I forgot to do that in the makefile.

If you installed in an isolated account, it is essential that your environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH be set up properly. The new makefile creates a script for you that accomplishes this, but you have to run the script in order for it to take effect.

If you are still having trouble, tell me what shell you are using, what type of installation you are doing, and (if you are doing 'make here' in the v300 makefile) what the value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH is.

Hmm, maybe I should revisit Linux. But, I'm busy with Derby 6000. Got a cool banner for it! =)
