Hi there,   
      
   >I've just updated my Linux box to Ubuntu 10.4 server and now it looks like the

   }   
      
   I figure just a bad cut and paste had you leave out the last "}" there    
      
   > but now everytime I call this door option, I do not get any screen output.   
      
   On my Ubuntu 9.10, your code above returns me right to the bbs.. no display..   
   Here's an example of a system command that I use that does work:   
      
   system("./doors/topdoor -t Timeport",1,0);   
      
   without the ./path/binary  etc. it didn't work.. maybe because I haven't set   
   the path for bbbs on this box yet..   
      
   This is the entire block for the timeport door:   
      
   case 9:{   
         logdoor(7);   
         make_doorsys(sprintf("./timeport/door%u.sys",bv_nodenumber));   
         system(sprintf("./timeport/timeport N%u",bv_nodenumber),1,0);   
         system("./doors/topdoor -t Timeport",1,0); //create bull for top door   
         break;   
         }

   Library problems, maybe?   I've had to install a few of them since switching to   
   this 64 bit Dell system this month.   It's the same version of Ubuntu pretty   
   much (9.10), but libraries I was able to install on my old 32bit athlon for   
   the doors I run, like these two:   
      
   libstdc++5_3.3.6-18_i386.deb   
   libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-27_i386.deb   
      
   wouldn't install.. (32bit).   
      
   I was able to find libstc++5 on a ubuntu repostory but no luck with   
   libstc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-27 yet.. so over here, ambroshia won't run.. yet..   
      
      
   Probably not the help you were looking for, but hopefully it will help some :)   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
