i would recommend to install libquicktime from the sources : http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/libquicktime/libquicktime-0.9.1.tar.gz ( ./configure; make; make install ) then to add the line : /usr/local/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf and finally to run 'ldconfig -v' so that it could find the new library. cheers, sevy
