Hi Steve, We will make a static build for both the 32-bit and 64-bit available with the next release. Ansley Steve Guimond wrote: Ansley, My problem was with the 32-bit Linux version. Is there not a 32-bit static available? Steve ======================================================= Stephen R.

With the next release of Ferret I'll build it with more of the static libraries. It looks as if I have several of the X libraries available in static forms which will cut down on a lot of this.

If it is you might just need to add it to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

If it happens to be libstdc++.so.5 then you can install the compat-libstdc++33 package. There's a note about it here: http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/maillists/tmap/ferret_users/fu_2007/msg00447.html If there are other libraries missing send the details to the list and we can help you track down the packages you need to install.I tried installing the static version of Ferret and got this message: /usr/local/ferret/bin/ferret: Exec format error. Wrong Architecture. Any suggestions?The static build that's available is for 64-bit machines. I'm pretty sure we can get you going with the shared library build. :-) RolandSteve ======================================================= Stephen R.
