Simon gave me some useful information about the Windows aspect. It's not important any more but I still don't know how Debian accesses shared libaries, which was the point of the orignal question before we got distracted by what I was doing. The manual says it is via the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH but when I typed 'env' there was no such in there. However I created one anew and put /usr/local/lib in it and I now get the access I wanted and not the error message.
It's not a Debian thing, but a generic Linux thing.Briefly, Linux has a global cache/search list of libraries to seach through - see /etc/ld.so.conf but you can augment it by setting the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
/usr/local/lib is usually included though.... Try running ldconfig -v to get the complete dump of all libraries and where they point... Gordon -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
