Shawn:
    Thanks for the suggestions. I actually tried both of these ideas 
with no success. It turned out that my web browser screwed up the 
download. I downloaded the libraries again with GetRight and everything 
worked fine.
    Of course I'm still having trouble getting X to recognize my mouse, 
but that'll probably be an issue for a later thread . . .  :-)
