libboosts-*_1_34_1 and friends are only in stable, as boost is a c++ library (not a c library) it is totally compiler dependent and when Debian release new boost packages they change the name of the package to also contain the version so that you can have all boost versions installed at once, none over wright each other.

Also.. adding a the Debian stable respotiory will not effect anything else, it will not downgrade your system or anthing

jsut got a “ERROR: Mapbuffer: glMapbuffer returned NULL (no Vortex data)”

is that Snowglobe or Ati driver related ?

All I had to do was find a newer linux driver
for ubuntu or debian. After installing the
nvidia drivers it was great. Linux Mint worked
nicely with Second Life. I’ll install the driver
on my Xubuntu install as well. Take care
and good work.

Thanks for you your efforts on the new build.
