Hi Klaus,

thanks for your help.
I tried 'ldd' and yes, 'exrdisplay' is actually calling a different 
version of libstdc++.so.5 when i'm root which is located in /usr/lib.

This is the output from ldd:
From root:
..
libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x40360000)
...

From user:
..
libstdc++.so.5 => 
/usr/Softimage/XSI_4.2/Application/mainwin/mw/../misc/linux/gcc/fixed3/lib/libstdc++.so.5 
(0x40360000)
..
Do I have to reinstall openexr with some different options to make sure 
that I use the this library as a user? Why would it use this library and 
not the one in /usr/lib?

thanks again for your help,
Patrick
