Sorry, little highlander humor there...
No, I only have one copy of libEQ.a in /usr/lib.
That was apparently not the problem. I completely tossed everything out. (/usr/local items, /seq/showeq dir, etc.) Completely re-downloaded from CVS (oddly enough, I did this the first time, as well), applied the patch, and re-compiled. It now works. I can only guess there was something in /usr/local that was the culprit. I've been a *nix coder since 1988 and still am amazed at some of the things that will fix problems. LOL
(Like putting a printf statement in the spelllist window making it work...strange, but hey...)
Anyway, if anyone else has this problem, basically try removing everything and starting fresh. Cheers, and good luck!
